Subject: [PATCH] virdevmapper: Ignore all errors when opening
/dev/mapper/control
So far, only ENOENT is ignored (to deal with kernels without
devmapper). However, as reported on the list, under certain
scenarios a different error can occur. For instance, when libvirt
is running inside a container which doesn't have permissions to
talk to the devmapper. If this is the case, then open() returns
-1 and sets errno=EPERM.
Assuming that multipath devices are fairly narrow use case and
using them in a restricted container is even more narrow the best
fix seems to be to ignore all open errors BUT produce a warning
on failure. To avoid flooding logs with warnings on kernels
without devmapper the level is reduced to a plain debug message.
