Subject: nbd: adjust 'max_part' according to part_shift
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5988ce239682854d4e632fb58bff000700830394;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

nbd: adjust 'max_part' according to part_shift

The 'max_part' parameter determines how many partitions are supported
on each nbd device. However the actual number can be changed to the
power of 2 minus 1 form during the module initialization as
alloc_disk() is called with (1 << part_shift) for some reason.

So adjust 'max_part' also at least for consistency with loop and brd.
It is exported via sysfs already, and a user should check this value
after module loading if [s]he wants to use that number correctly
(i.e. fdisk or something).
