[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 15/18] drbd: new-connection and new-minor succeed, if the object already exists

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg at linbit.com>

Follow O_CREAT semantics when creating connection or minor device/volume
objects.  If we need O_CREAT|O_EXCL semantics some time down the road,
we can add NLM_F_EXCL to the netlink message flags.
