From 080506ad0aa9c9fbc7879cdd290d55624da08c60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:45:19 -0700 Subject: block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Cai Zhiyong Cc: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- block/Kconfig | 9 +++++++-- block/Makefile | 2 +- block/partitions/Kconfig | 4 ++-- block/partitions/cmdline.c | 8 ++++---- 4 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'block') diff --git a/block/Kconfig b/block/Kconfig index 7f38e40fee08..2429515c05c2 100644 --- a/block/Kconfig +++ b/block/Kconfig @@ -99,11 +99,16 @@ config BLK_DEV_THROTTLING See Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt for more information. -config CMDLINE_PARSER +config BLK_CMDLINE_PARSER bool "Block device command line partition parser" default n ---help--- - Parsing command line, get the partitions information. + Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from + the kernel boot args.
