mmc: make number of mmcblk minors configurable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The old limit of number of minor numbers per mmcblk device was hardcoded
at 8.  This isn't enough for some of the more elaborate partitioning
schemes, for example those used by Chrome OS.

Since there might be a bunch of systems out there with static /dev
contents that relies on the old numbering scheme, let's make it a
build-time option with the default set to the previous 8.

Also provide a boot/modprobe-time parameter to override the config
default: mmcblk.perdev_minors.

8 = /dev/mmcblk1 Second SD/MMC card
...

The start of next SD/MMC card can be configured with
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS, or overridden at boot/modprobe
time using the mmcblk.perdev_minors option. That would
bump the offset between each card to be the configured
value instead of the default 8.

Number of minors per block device. One is needed for every
partition on the disk (plus one for the whole disk).

Number of total MMC minors available is 256, so your number
of supported block devices will be limited to 256 divided
by this number.

Default is 8 to be backwards compatible with previous
hardwired device numbering.

If unsure, say 8 here.
