Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly.
One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already
mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call
ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the
new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use
full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.
Test app:
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/loop.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <getopt.h>
char *me;
void usage(FILE *f)
{
fprintf(f, "%s [options] loop_dev [backend_file]\n"
"-s, --set new_size_in_bytes\n"
"\twhen backend_file is given, "
"it will be expanded too while keeping the original contents\n",
me);
}
struct option opts[] = {
{
.name = "set",
.has_arg = 1,
.flag = NULL,
.val = 's'
},
{
.name = "help",
.has_arg = 0,
.flag = NULL,
.val = 'h'
}
};
void err_size(char *name, __u64 old)
{
fprintf(stderr, "size must be larger than current %s (%llu)\n",
name, old);
