Currently when using the num_parts parameter, partitions are aligned and the end sector is one prior to the next start. This creates different sized partitions. Create instead equally sized partitions by trimming the end of each partition to the size of the smallest partition. This aligns better with what one would expect from automatically created partitions and can be helpful with testing things such as raid which often expect legs of the same size. Minimal space is lost as the initial partition starting size is calculated by dividing num_sectors by sdebug_num_parts.

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 Restructured Text 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.
