From: Jan Kara Subject: Allow setting of number of raw devices as a module parameter References: FATE 302178 Patch-mainline: never Allow setting of maximal number of raw devices as a module parameter. This requires changing of static array into a vmalloced one (the array is going to be too large for kmalloc).
