Uday Shankar af73c8fd73 ublk: enforce ublks_max only for unprivileged devices 
[ Upstream commit 80bdfbb354 ]

Commit 403ebc8778 ("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?

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
