3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ef7e7c82e02b602f29c2b87f42dcd6143a6777da upstream. When the loop module is loaded, it creates 8 loop devices /dev/loop[0-7]. The devices have no request routine and thus, when they are used without being assigned, a crash happens. For example, these commands cause crash (assuming there are no used loop devices): Kernel Fault: Code=26 regs=000000007f420980 (Addr=0000000000000010) CPU: 1 PID: 50 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 3.11.0 #1 Workqueue: ksnaphd do_metadata [dm_snapshot] task: 000000007fcf4078 ti: 000000007f420000 task.ti: 000000007f420000 [ 116.319988] YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI PSW: 00001000000001001111111100001111 Not tainted r00-03 000000ff0804ff0f 00000000408bf5d0 00000000402d8204 000000007b7ff6c0 r04-07 00000000408a95d0 000000007f420950 000000007b7ff6c0 000000007d06c930 r08-11 000000007f4205c0 0000000000000001 000000007f4205c0 000000007f4204b8 r12-15 0000000000000010 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 r16-19 000000001108dd48 000000004061cd7c 000000007d859800 000000000800000f r20-23 0000000000000000 0000000000000008 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 r24-27 00000000ffffffff 000000007b7ff6c0 000000007d859800 00000000408a95d0 r28-31 0000000000000000 000000007f420950 000000007f420980 000000007f4208e8 sr00-03 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000303000 sr04-07 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 117.549988] IASQ: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IAOQ: 00000000402d82fc 00000000402d8300 IIR: 53820020 ISR: 0000000000000000 IOR: 0000000000000010 CPU: 1 CR30: 000000007f420000 CR31: ffffffffffffffff ORIG_R28: 0000000000000001 IAOQ[0]: generic_make_request+0x11c/0x1a0 IAOQ[1]: generic_make_request+0x120/0x1a0 RP(r2): generic_make_request+0x24/0x1a0 Backtrace: [<00000000402d83f0>] submit_bio+0x70/0x140 [<0000000011087c4c>] dispatch_io+0x234/0x478 [dm_mod] [<0000000011087f44>] sync_io+0xb4/0x190 [dm_mod] [<00000000110883bc>] dm_io+0x2c4/0x310 [dm_mod] [<00000000110bfcd0>] do_metadata+0x28/0xb0 [dm_snapshot] [<00000000401591d8>] process_one_work+0x160/0x460 [<0000000040159bc0>] worker_thread+0x300/0x478 [<0000000040161a70>] kthread+0x118/0x128 [<0000000040104020>] end_fault_vector+0x20/0x28 [<0000000040177220>] task_tick_fair+0x420/0x4d0 [<00000000401aa048>] invoke_rcu_core+0x50/0x60 [<00000000401ad5b8>] rcu_check_callbacks+0x210/0x8d8 [<000000004014aaa0>] update_process_times+0xa8/0xc0 [<00000000401ab86c>] rcu_process_callbacks+0x4b4/0x598 [<0000000040142408>] __do_softirq+0x250/0x2c0 [<00000000401789d0>] find_busiest_group+0x3c0/0xc70 [ 119.379988] Kernel panic - not syncing: Kernel Fault Rebooting in 1 seconds..
