Also I'm having a bit of a hard time following all the different changes (even if the all look good). Maybe at least the loop_set_size factoring should be split into another separate prep patch. > +/** > + * loop_update_size - updates device size from the backing file > + * @lo: struct loop_device to update the size for > + * > + * Recomputes the device size from the backing file, and updates the device > + * with the new size. > + */ > static int > -figure_loop_size(struct loop_device *lo, loff_t offset, loff_t sizelimit) > +loop_update_size(struct loop_device *lo) > { > + loff_t size = get_loop_size(lo, lo->lo_backing_file); > sector_t x = (sector_t)size; > > if (unlikely((loff_t)x != size)) > return -EFBIG; > + > + loop_set_size(lo, size); > + > return 0; > } With all the other nice helper, I think this can actually be open coded in the caller. Another useful helper would be one that checks for the size truncation, as that is duplicated in a few places.
