Subject: [PATCH] loop: Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:46:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49426B2C.9070100@redhat.com> (raw)
Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.
In loop_unplug() function is expected that mapping is set
and lo->lo_backing_file is not NULL.
Unfortunately loop_set_fd() set the request queue unplug function,
but loop_clr_fd() doesn't clear that.
Loop device allows open of non-configured loop in some situations.
If the unplug on request queue is called, loop module oopses because
of missing lo_backing_file.
Simple reproducer:
losetup /dev/loop0 /xxx
losetup -d /dev/loop0
dmsetup create x --table "0 1 linear /dev/loop0 0"
EIP is at loop_unplug+0x1d/0x3b
...

Several reports here

Fix it by simply clear unplug function together with
removing of backing file.
