I believe that IF you _really_ need to preserve the max_loop module parameter, then the parameter should _not_ be ignored, rather it should have the same function like before - to limit the loop driver so if you use max_loop=10 for example, it should not allow loop.c to create more than 10 loops.
Blame on the dual meaning of max_loop that it uses currently: to initialize a set of loop devices and as a side effect, it also sets the upper limit. People are complaining about the former constrain, isn't it? Does anyone uses the 2nd meaning of upper limit? - Ken - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
