Hi Gulam, I added the if statement to check that create_loop() always creates
the same loop device. My patch replaced "lopsetup --detach-all" with
"losetup --detache ${loop_device}", then if create_loop() creates loop devices
different from ${loop_device}, the test case will leave those devices. This is
not good.
But opposed to my expectation, create_loop() creates some different loop
devices. I guess in your system, /dev/loop0 is created in most cases. But
sometimes /dev/loop1 is created. Then the if block was executed. I repeated
the test case run on my system, and observed the same symptom as yours.
To not create loop devices other than ${loop_device}, I came up with another
solution idea. I think the losetup --find option is not needed. Just specifying
${loop_device} instead of --find will work. I tried this idea on my system and
it looks working. Will post v2 with this fix.
