Owner of one unprivileged ublk device could be one evil user, which can grant this disk's privilege to other users deliberately, and this way could be like making one trap and waiting for other users to be caught. So only owner to open unprivileged disk even though the owner grants disk privilege to other user. This way is reasonable too given anyone can create ublk disk, and no need other's grant.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
