DRM core provides multiple character-devices for user-space to use.
Depending on which device is opened, user-space can perform a different
set of operations (mainly ioctls). The primary node is always created
and called <term>card&lt;num&gt;</term>. Additionally, a currently
unused control node, called <term>controlD&lt;num&gt;</term> is also
and called card&lt;num&gt;. Additionally, a currently
unused control node, called controlD&lt;num&gt; is also
created. The primary node provides all legacy operations and
historically was the only interface used by userspace. With KMS, the
control node was introduced. However, the planned KMS control interface

If a driver advertises render node support, DRM core will create a

buffer-leaks, which occur if clients guess the flink names or mmap

drivers must mark their driver-dependent render-only ioctls as

authors must be careful not to allow any privileged ioctls on render
