From 382c55f88ffeb218c446bf0c46d0fc25d2795fe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Cross Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 10:00:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mmc: block: Allow more than 8 partitions per card It is quite common for Android devices to utilize more then 8 partitions on internal eMMC storage. The vanilla kernel can support this via CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS, however that solution caps the system to 256 minors total, which limits the number of mmc cards the system can support. This patch, which has been carried for quite awhile in the AOSP common tree, provides an alternative solution that doesn't seem to limit the total card count. So I wanted to submit it for consideration upstream. This patch sets the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT flag, which will allocate minor number in major 259 for partitions past disk->minors. It also removes the use of disk_devt to determine devidx from md->disk. md->disk->first_minor is always initialized from devidx and can always be used to recover it.
