btrfs: mount failure return value fix
I happened to pass swap partition as root partition in cmdline, then kernel panic and tell me about "Cannot open root device". It is not correct, in fact it is a fs type mismatch instead of 'no device'. Eventually I found btrfs mounting failed with -EIO, it should be -EINVAL. The logic in init/do_mounts.c: for (p = fs_names; *p; p += strlen(p)+1) { int err = do_mount_root(name, p, flags, root_mount_data); switch (err) { case 0: goto out; case -EACCES: flags |= MS_RDONLY; goto retry; case -EINVAL: continue; } print "Cannot open root device" panic } SO fs type after btrfs will have no chance to mount Here fix the return value as -EINVAL Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
