Bug#669314: [PATCH v3] nfs: Show original device name verbatim in /proc/*/mount{s,info}

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:23:52 +0100

Since commit c7f404b ('vfs: new superblock methods to override
/proc/*/mount{s,info}'), nfs_path() is used to generate the mounted
device name reported back to userland.

nfs_path() always generates a trailing slash when the given dentry is
the root of an NFS mount, but userland may expect the original device
name to be returned verbatim (as it used to be).  Make this
canonicalisation optional and change the callers accordingly.

I assume you mean the patch

  nfs: convert boolean nfs_path() argument to a flag word

does not apply against master.  It is just an optional code style
improvement on top of Ben's

  nfs: Show original device name verbatim in /proc/*/mount{s,info}

Here are the two squashed together for convenience.

Thanks,
Jonathan
