Prior to Linux v5.4 devtmpfs used mount_single() which treats the given mount options as "remount" options, so it updates the configuration of the single super_block on each mount. Since that was changed, the mount options used for devtmpfs are ignored. This is a regression which affect systemd - which mounts devtmpfs with "-o mode=755,size=4m,nr_inodes=1m". This patch restores the "remount" effect by calling reconfigure_single() Fixes: d401727ea0d7 ("devtmpfs: don't mix {ramfs,shmem}_fill_super() with mount_single()") Acked-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
