Package: util-linux
Version: 2.28-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Losetup was able to setup compressed loopback (cloop) devices, which
have a similar ioctl API, until recently the code in sys-utils/losetup.c
and lib/loopdev.c was changed to only accept devices with loopbacks
major device id.
While attaching a file to a cloop device still works (no check here),
detaching with -d fails with error message:
losetup: /dev/cloop7: failed to use device: Success
Suggestion: Remove the check for
major(st.st_rdev) == LOOPDEV_MAJOR);
in is_loopdev() in lib/loopdev.c.
