Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] init: add secondary DPS root partition type UUID
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 14:03:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261025-discoverable-root_partitions-v2-6-fb77d0821fab@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261025-discoverable-root_partitions-v2-0-fb77d0821fab@kernel.org>
Some 64-bit architectures can run 32-bit user space. For those
configurations, also allow DPS root discovery to use the compatible
32-bit root partition type UUID as a fallback.
Add a secondary root partition type UUID Kconfig symbol and include it
in the DPS root lookup when it is defined.
Try the secondary UUID only when the native lookup returns -ENODEV.
