I originally started out doing that. However, it is a significantly larger refactoring of the loop driver, and it makes things like error handling more complex. I thought configuring loop with an offset is the most common case. But if there's a preference to do an ioctl that takes the full status, I can work on that. Best, Martijn > > > Thanks, > Ming >
