Subject: [PATCH RFC DRAFT POC 09/11] fs: add init_root()
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:49:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303-work-kthread-nullfs-v1-9-87e559b94375@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303-work-kthread-nullfs-v1-0-87e559b94375@kernel.org>

Add a init_root() helper that allows to grab init's current filesystem
root. This can be used by callers to perform tasks relative to init's
current filesystem root.

Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
