From c2fccc1c9f7c81700cbac2120a4ad5441dd37004 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2013 10:12:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device" This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f07b163414e2215a2cadbb4cfe2a107. There are situations where the destruction path is called with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock() on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now.
