Subject: [PATCH] [36/99] nbd: limit module parameters to a sane value

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...il.com>

commit 3b2710824e00d238554c13b5add347e6c701ab1a upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a nbd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel oops (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).

In addition, specifying large 'nbds_max' value causes same
problem for the same reason.

On my desktop, following command results to the kernel bug:

$ sudo modprobe nbd max_part=100000
 kernel BUG at /media/Linux_Data/project/linux/fs/sysfs/group.c:65!
