Zhiqiang Liu c911b13e8b brd: check and limit max_part par
[ Upstream commit c8ab422553c81a0eb070329c63725df1cd1425bc ]

In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated
and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each
brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device,
the disk->first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part
is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same
devt, then only one of them can be successfully added.
when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit.

Follow those steps:
  # modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576
  # rmmod brd
then, the oops will appear.

Oops log:

Here, we add brd_check_and_reset_par func to check and limit max_part par.

--
V5->V6:
 - remove useless code

V4->V5:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - make sure max_part is not larger than DISK_MAX_PARTS

V3->V4:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - remove useless change
 - add one limit of max_part

V2->V3: (suggested by Ming Lei)
 - clear .minors when running out of consecutive minor space in brd_alloc
 - remove limit of rd_nr

V1->V2:
 - add more checks in brd_check_par_valid as suggested by Ming Lei.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
