From: Nabeel M Mohamed <nmeeramohide@micron.com>

This adds the open, release and mpool management ioctls for
the mpool driver.

The create, destroy, activate, deactivate and rename ioctls
are issued to the mpool control device (/dev/mpoolctl),
and the rest are issued to the mpool device
(/dev/mpool/<mpool_name>).

The mpool control device is owned by (root, disk) with
mode 0664. Non-default uid, gid and mode can be assigned to
an mpool device either at create time or post creation using
the params set ioctl.

Both the per-mpool and common parameters are available in
the sysfs device tree path created by the kernel for each mpool
device minor (/sys/devices/virtual/mpool). Mpool parameters
cannot be changed via the sysfs tree at this point.

The mpool management ioctl handlers invoke the mpool lifecycle
management routines to administer mpools. Activating an mpool
creates a unit object which stores some key information like
reference to the device object, reference to the mpc_mpool
instance containing the per-mpool private data, device props,
ownership and mode bits, device open count, flags etc. The
per-mpool parameters are persisted in MDC0 at activation.

Deactivating an mpool tears down the unit object and releases
all its associated resources.

An mpool can be renamed only when it's deactivated.  Renaming
an mpool updates the superblock on all its constituent storage
volumes with the new mpool name.

Hi,

MPIOC_MAGIC is defined in patch 01/22.
It should also be added to Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst.


thanks.

Sure, thanks! I've made a note of this and will address it in v2.

Thanks,
