I can see where introducing may_open_dev before changing the conditions in may_open_dev might have been a a hair more readable. At the same time that approaches the ridiculously small patches, and this change is one clear focused change (introduce and test SB_I_NODEV) and the change is small enough I don't see anything getting lost in the noise. I did very deliberately separate this from "12/13 userns: Remove implicit MNT_NODEV fragility." As a combination there would have been very confusing. Which is the really interesting result as it removes that stupid unnecessary difference between mounts inside and outside of user namespaces.
