Subject: [PATCH 13/19] block: store GPT partition type UUID
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:09:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-discoverable-root_partitions-v1-13-39c78fac42e2@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-discoverable-root_partitions-v1-0-39c78fac42e2@kernel.org>

DPS [1] identifies OS partitions by GPT partition type UUID.

Keep that UUID in partition_meta_info and populate it while scanning EFI
partition tables so early root discovery can use it.

[1] The Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS)
Link: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/
