Subject: [PATCH 4/7] loopdev: update block device size in loop_set_status()
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 18:56:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359111382-12654-5-git-send-email-yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359111382-12654-1-git-send-email-yan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Loop device driver sometimes fails to impose the size limit on the
device. Keep issuing following two commands:
losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0
blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times.
The problems are:
- losetup set up the device in two ioctl:
LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64.
- LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk.
Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev
rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose
size is backing file size. If the device is not released after
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size.
Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl.
