From 45071e1c2897138f337000e12f2393e769f125b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Loic Poulain Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2023 10:23:49 +0200 Subject: init: Add support for rootwait timeout parameter Add an optional timeout arg to 'rootwait' as the maximum time in seconds to wait for the root device to show up before attempting forced mount of the root filesystem. Use case: In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0), if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason (wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset. This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or entering a recovery mode. In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready, unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional pause.
