Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] util/grub-editenv: add basic structures and probe call for external envblk
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:08:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915090848.131937-2-mchang@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250915090848.131937-1-mchang@suse.com>

This patch prepares for using an environment block stored in a reserved
area of the filesystem. It adds a constant ENV_BTRFS_OFFSET at 256 KiB
in the Btrfs header. It also introduces the fs_envblk_spec and fs_envblk
structures together with the probe_fs_envblk function to identify the
root filesystem and to avoid configurations that involve diskfilter or
cryptodisk.

The probe is only invoked when grub-editenv is working on the default
environment file path. This restriction ensures that probing and
possible raw device access are not triggered for arbitrary user supplied
paths, but only for the standard grubenv file. In that case the code
checks if the filename equals DEFAULT_ENVBLK_PATH and then calls
probe_fs_envblk with fs_envblk_spec. The result is stored in the global
fs_envblk handle. At this stage the external environment block is only
detected and recorded, and the behavior of grub editenv is unchanged.
