We config the block size of a loop device throuth the following process: lo_ioctl(..., unsigned long arg) | ^^^^ lo_simple_ioctl(..., unsigned long arg) | ^^^^ loop_set_block_size(..., unsigned long arg) | ^^^^ loop_validate_block_size(unsigned short bsize) | ^^^^^ blk_queue_logical_block_size(..., unsigned int size) { ''' limits->logical_block_size = size; ^^^^ int ''' } loop_validate_block_size() will check the validity of bsize. But long to short will be truncated(eg arg=1049600 and it becomes 1024 after truncation by short. The block size must within the range of 512 ~ PAGE_SZIE, This truncation will turn illegal block szie to legal). The wrong of block size will raise other errors.
