Subject: [Bug 214721] New: initrd(4) man-page lacks information for kernel behaviour if linuxrc mounted an fs
Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2021 14:18:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-214721-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214721

            Bug ID: 214721
           Summary: initrd(4) man-page lacks information for kernel
                    behaviour if linuxrc mounted an fs
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: mishaparem@gmail.com
        Regression: No

Where:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/initrd.4.html
Section: Boot-up operation
Part: 6.
-AND-
Section: NOTES

-OR-
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man4/initrd.4
lines: 138-141
-AND-
lines: 441-474

What:
initrd(4), Section Boot-up operation, part 6. (lines 138-141) says:
"
If /linuxrc is not executed or when /linuxrc terminates, the
          normal root filesystem is mounted.  (If /linuxrc exits with
          any filesystems mounted on the initial root filesystem, then
          the behavior of the kernel is UNSPECIFIED.  See the NOTES
          section for the current kernel behavior.)
"
However, the NOTES section (lines 441-474):
Does NOT contain "current kernel behavior" if "/linuxrc exits with any
filesystems mounted on the initial root filesystem".

Proposed solution:
Add a description of the current kernel behavior, when /linuxrc exits with any
filesystems mounted on the initial root filesystem.
