4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>
commit e02898b423802b1f3a3aaa7f16e896da069ba8f7 upstream.
loop_reread_partitions() needs to do I/O, but we just froze the queue,
so we end up waiting forever. This can easily be reproduced with losetup
-P. Fix it by moving the reread to after we unfreeze the queue.
Fixes: ecdd09597a57 ("block/loop: fix race between I/O and set_status")
