I have an idea. If pp->fd < 0 ("Couldn't open device node"), pathinfo() returns PATHINFO_FAILED. Don't close(pp->fd) in orphan_path(). It may solve the problem (device with wrong path). I will take some time to test it. However, I don’t know if there are potential risks. Do you have suggestions about this?
