The custom crc32 init code was introduced in14a958e678("Btrfs: fix btrfs boot when compiled as built-in") to enable using btrfs as a built-in. However, later as pointed out by60efa5eb2e("Btrfs: use late_initcall instead of module_init") this wasn't enough and finally btrfs was switched to late_initcall which comes after the generic crc32c implementation is initiliased. The latter commit superseeded the former. Now that we don't have to maintain our own code let's just remove it and switch to using the generic implementation. Despite touching a lot of files the patch is really simple. Here is the gist of the changes: 1. Select LIBCRC32C rather than the low-level modules. 2. s/btrfs_crc32c/crc32c/g 3. replace hash.h with linux/crc32c.h 4. Move the btrfs namehash funcs to ctree.h and change the tree accordingly. I've tested this with btrfs being both a module and a built-in and xfstest doesn't complain. Does seem to fix the longstanding problem of not automatically selectiong the crc32c module when btrfs is used. Possibly there is a workaround in dracut. The modinfo confirms that now all the module dependencies are there: before: depends: zstd_compress,zstd_decompress,raid6_pq,xor,zlib_deflate after: depends: libcrc32c,zstd_compress,zstd_decompress,raid6_pq,xor,zlib_deflate Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> [ add more info to changelog from mails ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
