+ bdev_allow_write_mounted=
+ Format: <bool>
+ Control the ability to open a mounted block device
+ for writing, i.e., allow / disallow writes that bypass
+ the FS. This was implemented as a means to prevent
+ fuzzers from crashing the kernel by overwriting the
+ metadata underneath a mounted FS without its awareness.
+ This also prevents destructive formatting of mounted
+ filesystems by naive storage tooling that don't use
+ O_EXCL. Default is Y and can be changed through the
+ Kconfig option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED.
