2009-04-24ROMFS: Advance destination buffer pointer when reading from a blockdevDavid Howells
RomFS should advance the destination buffer pointer when reading data from a blockdev source (the data may be split over multiple blocks, each requiring its own sb_read() call). Without this, all the data is copied to the beginning of the output buffer.

2009-04-24ROMFS: romfs_lookup() shouldn't be doing a partial name comparisonDavid Howells
romfs_lookup() should be using a routine akin to strcmp() on the backing store, rather than one akin to strncmp(). If it uses the latter, it's liable to match /bin/shutdown when looking up /bin/sh.

2009-03-24NOMMU: Make it possible for RomFS to use MTD devices directlyDavid Howells
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.
