This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled fs/proc/proc_devtree.c: remove empty /proc/device-tree when no to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 0a7af657200fb2d99c8b1c0d093ffc1467caa67e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:55:43 -0800 Subject: fs/proc/proc_devtree.c: remove empty /proc/device-tree when no openfirmware exists. commit c1d867a54d426b45da017fbe8e585f8a3064ce8d upstream. Distribution kernels might want to build in support for /proc/device-tree for kernels that might end up running on hardware that doesn't support openfirmware. This results in an empty /proc/device-tree existing. Remove it if the OFW root node doesn't exist. This situation actually confuses grub2, resulting in install failures. grub2 sees the /proc/device-tree and picks the wrong install target cf. http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/annotate/4300/util/grub-install.in#L311 grub should be more robust, but still, leaving an empty proc dir seems pointless.
