2009-03-24NOMMU: Fix the RomFS Kconfig to ensure at least one backing store is selectedDavid Howells1-6/+28
Fix the configuration of the RomFS to make sure that at least one backing store method is always selected. This is done by rendering it down to a choice item that selects between Block, MTD and both. This also works correctly in the case that CONFIG_MTD=m: MTD cannot be selected as a backing store unless CONFIG_ROMFS_FS is also 'm'.

2009-03-24NOMMU: Make it possible for RomFS to use MTD devices directlyDavid Howells1-0/+24
Change RomFS so that it can use MTD devices directly - without the intercession of the block layer - as well as using block devices. This permits RomFS: (1) to use the MTD direct mapping facility available under NOMMU conditions if the underlying device is directly accessible by the CPU (including XIP); (2) and thus to be used when the block layer is disabled. RomFS can be configured with support just for MTD devices, just for Block devices or for both. If RomFS is configured for both, then it will treat mtdblock device files as MTD backing stores, not block layer backing stores. I tested this using a CONFIG_MMU=n CONFIG_BLOCK=n kernel running on my FRV board with a RomFS image installed on the mtdram test device. I see my test program being run XIP: # cat /proc/maps ... c0c000b0-c0c01f8c r-xs 00000000 1f:00 144 /mnt/doshm ... GDB on the kernel can be used to show that these addresses are within the set-aside RAM space.
