Keep issuing following two commands: losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0 blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times. The problems are: - losetup set up the device in two ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64. - LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk. Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose size is backing file size. If the device is not released after LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size. Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl. Signed-off-by: Guo Chao Reported-by: M.
