From 4f3bf19c6e8164b441faaee476e734b4f612a78d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:53:53 +0100 Subject: virtio_blk: Dont waste major numbers Rusty, currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers on larger installations. This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.
