[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] loop: Fix occasional uevent drop

[Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>]

Hi Christoph,

> From: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>
Thanks for rebasing my code. Using loop.c specific code in the file instead of
the function is indeed much better.

I also like your cleanup for 5.11 (remove the update_bdev parameter from
set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify).

> Commit 716ad0986cbd ("loop: Switch to set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify")
> causes an occasional drop of loop device uevent, which are no longer
> triggered in loop_set_size() but in a different part of code.

> Bug is reproducible with LTP test uevent01 [1]:

>     lsmod |grep -q loop && rmmod -f loop
>     ./uevent01 || break
> done

> Put back triggering through code called in loop_set_size().

This ^ is no longer true and should be removed.

Kind regards,
Petr
