Re: [PATCH 11/43] convert do_remount_sb() to fs_context

On Feb 19 2019, David Howells [off-list ref] wrote:

Replace do_remount_sb() with a function, reconfigure_super(), that's
fs_context aware.  The fs_context is expected to be parameterised already
and have ->root pointing to the superblock to be reconfigured.

A legacy wrapper is provided that is intended to be called from the
fs_context ops when those appear, but for now is called directly from
reconfigure_super().  This wrapper invokes the ->remount_fs() superblock op
for the moment.  It is intended that the remount_fs() op will be phased
out.

The fs_context->purpose is set to FS_CONTEXT_FOR_RECONFIGURE to indicate
that the context is being used for reconfiguration.

do_umount_root() is provided to consolidate remount-to-R/O for umount and
emergency remount by creating a context and invoking reconfiguration.

do_remount(), do_umount() and do_emergency_remount_callback() are switched
to use the new process.

That breaks booting for me.  The problem appears to be that udev fails
to create the block devices.
