Subject: [PATCH v2 10/16] device-mapper: Refuse to create device named "control"
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 16:31:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230530203116.2008-11-demi@invisiblethingslab.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230530203116.2008-1-demi@invisiblethingslab.com>
Typical userspace setups create a symlink under /dev/mapper with the
name of the device, but /dev/mapper/control is reserved for the control
device. Therefore, trying to create such a device is almost certain to
be a userspace bug.
