loop: fix I/O error on fsync() in detached loop devices
There's an I/O error on fsync() in a detached loop device if it has been previously attached. The issue is write cache is enabled in the attach path in loop_configure() but it isn't disabled in the detach path; thus it remains enabled in the block device regardless of whether it is attached or not. Now fsync() can get an I/O request that will just be failed later in loop_queue_rq() as device's state is not 'Lo_bound'. So, disable write cache in the detach path. Do so based on the queue flag, not the loop device flag for read-only (used to enable) as the queue flag can be changed via sysfs even on read-only loop devices (e.g., losetup -r.) Test-case: # DEV=/dev/loop7 # IMG=/tmp/image # truncate --size 1M $IMG # losetup $DEV $IMG # losetup -d $DEV Before: # strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync fsync(3) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/loop7: Input/output error [ 982.529929] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop7, sector 0 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 0 prio class 0 After: # strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync fsync(3) = 0 Co-developed-by: Eric Desrochers <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Eric Desrochers <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <[email protected]> Tested-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
