It uses dm_get_device() to acquire underlining device. My goal is to register it as just DM_TARGET_SINGLETON without DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE flag, since I need a possibility to reload it with another target. There is a check in dm_table_determine_type(), which prevents that. It's not obvious, what the reasons of this limitation are. Could you please explain, why this is required? Can we make the check weaker like in the patch below?
