[PATCH v2 2/4] dm ioctl: Allow userspace to provide expected diskseq

From: Demi Marie Obenour
Date: Sat Jun 24 2023 - 19:10:19 EST


This can be used to avoid race conditions in which a device is destroyed
and recreated with the same major/minor, name, or UUID. diskseqs are
only honored if strict parameter checking is on, to avoid any risk of
breaking old userspace.
