So.. this change will cause a fatal error for anyone who is presently using max_loop, won't it? If they're doing that within their initramfs/initrd/etc then things could get rather ugly for them.
I don't know how much of a problem this will be in practice - do people use max_loop much?
btw, did you test this change as both a module and as linked-into-vmlinux? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
