That would imply you are using the loop back device. If you look in the
blkback driver you will see that it checks on every request that:

#define vbd_sz(_v)      ((_v)->bdev->bd_part ? \
                         (_v)->bdev->bd_part->nr_sects : \
                          get_capacity((_v)->bdev->bd_disk))

And if you follow get_capacity, you get to:

static inline sector_t get_capacity(struct gendisk *disk)
{
        return disk->part0.nr_sects;
}

Looking in the loop device.. well, I will let you figure this out -
