From eefe85ee350ece1bdf3e9a61e941d3394a528660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Constantine Sapuntzakis Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 02:06:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop device was returning total garbage. It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call. The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL, which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer. This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in loop_set_fd.
