Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v4 2/3] qemu_cgroup: Handle device mapper targets properly

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1557769 Problem with device mapper targets is that there can be several other devices 'hidden' behind them. For instance, /dev/dm-1 can consist of /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. Therefore, when setting up devices CGroup and namespaces we have to take this into account. This bug was exposed after Linux kernel was fixed. Initially, kernel used different functions for getting block device in open() and ioctl(). While CGroup permissions were checked in the former case, due to a bug in kernel they were not checked in the latter case. This changed with the upstream commit of 519049afead4f7c3e6446028c41e99fde958cc04 (v4.16-rc5~11^2~4).
