[PATCH 0/6] ublk_drv: add mechanism for supporting unprivileged ublk device

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

Hello,

Stefan Hajnoczi suggested un-privileged ublk device[1] for container
use case.

So far only administrator can create/control ublk device which is too
strict and increase system administrator burden, and this patchset
implements un-privileged ublk device:

- any user can create ublk device, which can only be controlled &
  accessed by the owner of the device or administrator

For using such mechanism, system administrator needs to deploy two
simple udev rules[2] after running 'make install' in ublksrv.

Userspace(ublksrv):

	https://github.com/ming1/ubdsrv/tree/unprivileged-ublk
    
'ublk add -t $TYPE --un_privileged=1' is for creating one un-privileged
ublk device if the user is un-privileged.

Ming Lei (6):
  ublk_drv: remove nr_aborted_queues from ublk_device
  ublk_drv: don't probe partitions if the ubq daemon isn't trusted
  ublk_drv: move ublk_get_device_from_id into ublk_ctrl_uring_cmd
  ublk_drv: add device parameter UBLK_PARAM_TYPE_DEVT
  ublk_drv: add module parameter of ublks_max for limiting max allowed
    ublk dev
  ublk_drv: add mechanism for supporting unprivileged ublk device
