[PATCH] kpartx: free loop device after listing partitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If "kpartx -l" is run on a file that doesn't already have a loop device
associated with it, it will create a loop device to run the command.
Starting with da59d15c6 ("Fix loopback file with kpartx -av"), it will
not free the loop device when exitting. This is because it checks if the
the file it stat()ed is a regular file, before freeing the loop device.
However, after da59d15c6, stat() is rerun on the loop device itself, so
the check fails.  There is no need to check this, if loopcreated is
true, then the file will be a kpartx created loop device, and should be
freed.

Also, keep kpartx from printing that the loop device has been removed
at normal verbosity.

Fixes: da59d15c6 ("Fix loopback file with kpartx -av")
