Greetings, I see that the devices.txt file is used to reserve major numbers, and has a secondary effect of "reserving" name space in /dev - but I haven't located any precedent for reserving name space without reserving a major number.
My team at Micron plans to start open sourcing some kernel modules soon, and would be interested in preemptively avoiding /dev name space conflicts if possible, but we don't see any need for an invariant major number. The names we currently use are /dev/mpool[ctl]. Is linux-doc the right list to ask? Any tips appreciated.
