Subject: [PATCH] virdevmapper: Handle kernel without device-mapper support

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In one of my latest patch (v6.6.0~30) I was trying to remove

libdevmapper use in favor of our own implementation. However, the

code did not take into account that device mapper can be not

compiled into the kernel (e.g. be a separate module that's not

loaded) in which case /proc/devices won't have the device-mapper

major number and thus virDevMapperGetTargets() and/or

virIsDevMapperDevice() fails.

However, such failure is safe to ignore, because if device mapper

is missing then there can't be any multipath devices and thus we

don't need to allow the deps in CGroups, nor create them in the

domain private namespace, etc.
