Subject: [PATCH 10/16] bootm: support multiple entries for bootm.initrd
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:44:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312144505.2159816-10-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312144505.2159816-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
Linux can extract transparently any number of concatenated CPIOs, even
if individually compressed. This can be useful if we have two CPIOs from
different sources, e.g. an rdinit and a CPIO with the kernel modules.
Teach bootm how to collect multiple initrd entries by leveraging the
loadable chaining support.
