From bb430b69422640891b0b8db762885730579a4145 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alyssa Ross Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2023 13:54:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions LOOP_CONFIGURE is, as far as I understand it, supposed to be a way to combine LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64 into a single syscall. When using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64, a single uevent would be sent for each partition found on the loop device after the second ioctl(), but when using LOOP_CONFIGURE, no such uevent was being sent. In the old setup, uevents are disabled for LOOP_SET_FD, but not for LOOP_SET_STATUS64. This makes sense, as it prevents uevents being sent for a partially configured device during LOOP_SET_FD - they're only sent at the end of LOOP_SET_STATUS64. But for LOOP_CONFIGURE, uevents were disabled for the entire operation, so that final notification was never issued. To fix this, reduce the critical section to exclude the loop_reread_partitions() call, which causes the uevents to be issued, to after uevents are re-enabled, matching the behaviour of the LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 combination. I noticed this because Busybox's losetup program recently changed from using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 to LOOP_CONFIGURE, and this broke my setup, for which I want a notification from the kernel any time a new partition becomes available.
