Currently the only non-blockdevice filesystems that can be used as the initial root filesystem are NFS and CIFS, which use the magic "root=/dev/nfs" and "root=/dev/cifs" syntax that requires the root device file system details to come from filesystem specific kernel command line options. Add a little bit of new code that allows to just pass arbitrary string mount options to any non-blockdevice filesystems so that it can be mounted as the root file system. For example a virtiofs root file system can be mounted using the following syntax: "root=myfs rootfstype=virtiofs rw" Based on an earlier patch from Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
