Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: prefix detection: support device names with commas
|
|
|
|
Frustratingly, the device name itself can contain an embedded comma:
|
|
e.g /pci@800000020000015/pci1014,034A@0/sas/disk@5000c50098a0ee8b
|
|
|
|
So my previous approach was wrong: we cannot rely upon the presence
|
|
of a comma to say that a partition has been specified!
|
|
|
|
It turns out for prefixes like (,gpt2)/grub2 we really want to make
|
|
up a full (device,partition)/patch prefix, because root discovery code
|
|
in 10_linux will reset the root variable and use search to fill it again.
|
|
If you have run grub-install, you probably don't have search built in,
|
|
and if you don't have prefix containing (device,partition), grub will
|
|
construct ($root)$prefix/powerpc-ieee1275/search.mod - but because $root
|
|
has just been changed, this will no longer work, and the boot will fail!
|
|
|
|
Retain the gist of the logic, but instead of looking for a comma, look for
|
|
a leading '('. This matches the earlier code better anyway.
|
|
|
|
There's certainly a better fix to be had. But any time you chose to build
|
|
with a bare prefix like '/grub2', you're almost certainly going to build in
|
|
search anyway, so this will do.

|

|
|
