[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 4/4] dm ioctl: inform caller about already-existing device

[Demi Marie Obenour <demi@invisiblethingslab.com>]

Not only is this helpful for debugging, it also saves the caller an
ioctl in the case where a device should be used if it exists or created
otherwise.  To ensure existing userspace is not broken, this feature is
only enabled in strict mode.
