Patches 1, 3, and 4 are the same as v2, plus added reviewed-bys and
tested-bys from Milan. Patch 2 is new.

Omar Sandoval (4):
  loop: fix hang if LOOP_SET_STATUS gets invalid blocksize or encrypt
    type
  loop: set discard and write zeroes limits in 512 byte sectors
  loop: use queue limit instead of private lo_logical_blocksize
  loop: always return block size in LOOP_GET_STATUS

In both of these error cases, we need to make sure to unfreeze the queue
before we return.

max_discard_sectors and max_write_zeroes_sectors are in 512 byte
sectors, not device sectors.

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

There's no reason to track this separately; just use the
logical_block_size queue limit. This also fixes an issue where the
physical block size would get changed unnecessarily.

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

When I was writing a test for the new loop device block size
functionality, I noticed a couple of issues with how LOOP_GET_STATUS
handles the block size:

- lo_init[0] is never filled in with the logical block size we
  previously set
- lo_flags returned from LOOP_GET_STATUS will have LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE
  set if we previously called LOOP_SET_STATUS with LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE
  set, which doesn't really mean anything

Instead, for LOOP_GET_STATUS, let's always fill in lo_init[0] and set
the LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE flag to indicate we support it.

I don't understand this. 

* it seems the default is 512, but what about if the backing file 
  is not a regular file? For example "losetup -f /dev/sda" where 
  sda sector size is > 512.

* why the attributes in the /sys are affected by LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE?
  Would be better to have a real sizes there (independently on the flag)?

* I think kernel lies in /sys about I/O size now. The phy sector size
  has never been 512, but PAGE_SIZE or real phy sector if backing file
  is a block device.

  Your patch improves it for LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE, but it's still lies
  about internally used I/O sizes.

  Why we cannot use

    blk_queue_physical_block_size(lo->lo_queue, lo->lo_blocksize);
    blk_queue_logical_block_size(lo->lo_queue, lo->lo_logical_blocksize);

  (as suggested by Hannes' original patch), but without 
  
    if (info->lo_flags & LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE)

  condition?

  Yes, result will be backwardly incompatible, but the current

I didn't change the legacy behavior here, i.e., it's always 512 by
default.

What do you mean? LO_FLAGS_BLOCKSIZE means I want to change the logical
blocksize of the loop device, so why shouldn't it be reflected in sysfs?

I went back and forth on this. Yeah, the kernel is lying, and using the
backing block size makes more sense, but backwards compatability is
exactly why I didn't change this. Then again, the physical block size is
more of a hint, so it might be safe to change this.
