This patch allows to use loop device with partitionned disk image.What happened to the update to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
Original behavior of loop is not modified.
A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be
able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part".
that was in v3?
"This shouldn't be needed."
I though it means I should remove it. So, Andrew ???
No, given that all module_param() options are available via the boot
command line when the module is linked into vmlinux, we don't document them
separately.
There should be a way of auto-generating all the documentation for all the
module parameters from their MODULE_PARM_DESC's. And there probably is,
but I'm not sure how this is done (?)
(does `make help', fails to spot it).
You can do `modinfo loop' but that probably doesn't work if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y?
