Subject: [PATCH] fs/ramfs: don't use module_init for non-modular core code
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 21:56:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389495380-17231-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)

The ramfs is always built in.  It will never be modular, so
using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather
misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which
makes sense for fs code) will thus change this registration
from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that small difference has
been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in
the registration of the initcall.
