Omar Sandoval 37becec95a Btrfs: allow empty subvol= again
I got a report that after upgrading to 4.16, someone's filesystems
weren't mounting:

[   23.845852] BTRFS info (device loop0): unrecognized mount option 'subvol='

Before 4.16, this mounted the default subvolume. It turns out that this
empty "subvol=" is actually an application bug, but it was causing the
application to fail, so it's an ABI break if you squint.

The generic parsing code we use for mount options (match_token())
doesn't match an empty string as "%s". Previously, setup_root_args()
removed the "subvol=" string, but the mount path was cleaned up to not
need that. Add a dummy Opt_subvol_empty to fix this.

The simple workaround is to use / or . for the value of 'subvol=' .

Fixes: 312c89fbca ("btrfs: cleanup btrfs_mount() using btrfs_mount_root()")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
