Hi Jens, this series sorts out lock order reversals involving the block layer open_mutex by drastically reducing the scope of loop_ctl_mutex. To do so it first merges the cryptoloop module into the main loop driver as the unregistrtion of transfers on live loop devices was causing some nasty locking interactions. Changes since v1: - add a new patch to fix a pre-existing spare warning in the crypto code - initialize various struct loop_dev fields earlier - hold lo_mutex over lo_state updates - take loop_ctl_mutex to delete from the idr in the loop_add failure path Diffstat: b/drivers/block/Kconfig | 6 b/drivers/block/Makefile | 1 b/drivers/block/loop.c | 334 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- b/drivers/block/loop.h | 30 ---- drivers/block/cryptoloop.c | 204 --------------------------- 5 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 386 deletions(-)
