From f7c4ce890dd23f2d41ad9630263aad6e9720af58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Andr=C3=A9=20Almeida?= Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 11:46:36 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] null_blk: validate the number of devices MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A negative number of devices is nonsensical, so change the type to unsigned. If the number of devices is 0, it is impossible for userspace to interact with the module, so refuse loading the driver for that case.
