No way can we allow this for any random user that can open the loopback device read-only and then just change its size. It needs to use all the same security checks as "loop_set_status()" and friends, afaik. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not going to apply it without somebody explaining why this isn't a total piece of shit. I also don't want to have copyright licenses in changelogs. If it's a test app, anybody should be able to use it, no restrictions.
