Cgroup v2 device controller has no interface files and is implemented
on top of cgroup BPF. To control access to device files, a user may
create bpf programs of the BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE type and attach them
to cgroups. On an attempt to access a device file, corresponding
BPF programs will be executed, and depending on the return value
the attempt will succeed or fail with -EPERM.
create bpf programs of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE and attach
them to cgroups with BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE flag. On an attempt to access a
device file, corresponding BPF programs will be executed, and depending
on the return value the attempt will succeed or fail with -EPERM.
A BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE program takes a pointer to the bpf_cgroup_dev_ctx
structure, which describes the device access attempt: access type
(mknod/read/write) and device (type, major and minor numbers).
If the program returns 0, the attempt fails with -EPERM, otherwise
it succeeds.

An example of BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE program may be found in the kernel
source tree in the tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/dev_cgroup.c file.
