Demi Marie Obenour a85f1a9de9 dm ioctl: Refuse to create device named "control"
Typical userspace setups create a symlink under /dev/mapper with the
name of the device, but /dev/mapper/control is reserved for DM's control
device.  Therefore, trying to create such a device is almost certain to
be a userspace bug.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
