      loop: Improve the hw_queue_depth kernel module parameter implementation · e152a05f
      Bart Van Assche authored
      Make the following minor changes which were reported by colleagues
      while reviewing this code:
      - Remove the parentheses from around the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH
        definition since these are superfluous.
      - Accept other number formats than decimal, e.g. hexadecimal.
      - Do not set hw_queue_depth to an out-of-range value, even if that value
        won't be used.
      - Use the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH macro in the kernel module parameter
        description to prevent that the description gets out of sync.
      
      This patch has been tested as follows:
      
       # modprobe -r loop
       # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=-1
       modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Invalid argument
       # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=0
       modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Invalid argument
       # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=1; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth
       1
       # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth hw_queue_depth=0x10
       16
       # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth hw_queue_depth=128
       128
       # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=129; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth
       129
       # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=$((1<<32))
       modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Numerical result out of range

      depth").
