Subject: md: Relax checks on ->max_disks when external metadata handling is used.
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~9833^2~2054^2~31
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=233fca36bb439eadcad28500b5139fed7c64a0ae;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

md: Relax checks on ->max_disks when external metadata handling is used.

When metadata is being managed by user-space, md doesn't know
what the maximum number of devices allowed in an array is
so ->max_disks is 0.  In this case we should allow any (+ve)
number of disks.
