Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] block: brd/loop error-path cleanup
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:20:42 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831152044.166353-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Two small error-path cleanups in brd and loop.
Patch 1 destroys the brd xarray on allocation failure after xa_init().
Patch 2 restores backing-file GFP mask, clears lo_backing_file /
lo_device, and re-enables uevents when loop_configure() fails after
loop_assign_backing_file().
Base: v7.3-rc1
Tested: built bzImage with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y;
booted QEMU initramfs smoke (ram0 present + LOOP_CONFIGURE happy path).
Thanks,
Iván
