From ee86273062cbb310665fe49e1f1937d2cf85b0b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Milan Broz Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:16:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributes Create /sys/block/loopX/loop directory and provide these attributes: - backing_file - autoclear - offset - sizelimit This loop directory is present only if loop device is configured. To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules) where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store duplicate info in userspace). Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing file info because of buffer limits. Signed-off-by: Milan Broz Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
