commit b1a811633f73 ("block: nbd: add sanity check for first_minor") checks that 'first_minor' should not be greater than 0xff, which is wrong. Whitout the commit, the details that when user pass 0x100000, it ends up create sysfs dir "/sys/block/43:0" are as follows: nbd_dev_add disk->first_minor = index << part_shift -> default part_shift is 5, first_minor is 0x2000000 device_add_disk ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor) -> (0x2b << 20) | (0x2000000) = 0x2b00000 device_add device_create_sys_dev_entry format_dev_t sprintf(buffer, "%u:%u", MAJOR(dev), MINOR(dev)); -> got 43:0 sysfs_create_link -> /sys/block/43:0 By the way, with the wrong fix, when part_shift is the default value, only 8 ndb devices can be created since 8 << 5 is greater than 0xff. Since the max bits for 'first_minor' should be the same as what MKDEV() does, which is 20. Change the upper bound of 'first_minor' from 0xff to 0xfffff.
