[ Upstream commit 80bdfbb3545b6f16680a72c825063d08a6b44c7a ]
Commit 403ebc877832 ("ublk_drv: add module parameter of ublks_max for limiting max allowed ublk dev"), claimed ublks_max was added to prevent a DoS situation with an untrusted user creating too many ublk devices. If that's the case, ublks_max should only restrict the number of unprivileged ublk devices in the system. Enforce the limit only for unprivileged ublk devices, and rename variables accordingly. Leave the external-facing parameter name unchanged, since changing it may break systems which use it (but still update its documentation to reflect its new meaning).
As a result of this change, in a system where there are only normal (non-unprivileged) devices, the maximum number of such devices is increased to 1 << MINORBITS, or 1048576. That ought to be enough for anyone, right?
