Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: add symbolic link to kobject in sysfs

From: Daeho Jeong <[email protected]>

Added a symbolic link to directory of sysfs. It will
create a symbolic link such as "mount_0" and "mount_1" to
each f2fs mount in the order of mounting filesystem. It will
provide easy access to sysfs node even if not knowing the
specific device node name like sda19 and dm-3.

Just out of curiosity, if we mount/umount as below:

mount /dev/zram0 /mnt/f2fs0
mount /dev/zram1 /mnt/f2fs1
umount /mnt/f2fs0
mount /dev/zram0 /mnt/f2fs0

Shouldn't sysfs structure be:
mount_2 -> zram0
mount_1 -> zram1
zram0
zram1

Then we can know zram0 is mounted after zram1?

However the result shows:
mount_0 -> zram0
mount_1 -> zram1
zram0
zram1

Thanks,

Actually, I want to keep the mount number remaining to the same
number, even if it's re-mounted.
Or we need to keep track of the number being increased whenever it's
remounted. :(

Then once there is f2fs umounter, the order will be incorrect...

IMO, it needs to always keep the number being increased.

Actually, we prepared this patch for a strictly controlled system like
Android to easily access the sysfs node for a specific partition like
userdata partition using a specific number.
In this system, we don't worry about another unexpected f2fs umounter
interfering in between unmounting and mounting a partition.

When we are under the condition that we can keep track of how many
times the userdata partition has been re-mounted, we might as well use
the original partition name like "/sys/fs/f2fs/dm-9".
This is for when we couldn't do that.

I'm not against Android defined interfaces, just be confused about the
behavior that does not fully documented (at least, we should add this
into f2fs doc, and specify this is android specified interface), something
like once one mount point was umounted, that sequential number @x in
'mount_@x" could be reused by later newly mounted point, it breaks the
description: "in the order of mounting filesystem".
