Subject: Oops using 2.6.28.n after a lazy umount of a crypted loop-device

Hello,

for some reason I can't remember I've done a lazy umount follwing the
deregistration of the loop-device. The commands in question are:

---------
umount -l /mnt/crypted
cryptsetup luksClose crypted
losetup -d /dev/loop1
---------

Using Kernels 2.6.28.2 and .7 this two times resulted
in an Oops like the following (both having the same Call Trace):

-----------------

I've digged something arround in drivers/block/loop.c and I assume that
loop_clr_fd() misses to stop or clear something before it destroys
needed datas the kernel-thread (loop_thread) uses. Anyway I don't have
much knowledge about all the stuff going on there, so I don't think I
will find the problem by myself without spending much time. I know using
a normal umount will be the obvious workaround, anyway I don't think the
lazy umount should result in an Oops afterwards, regardless how
reasonable the lazy umount following the deletion of the device is.

If I could help with some more infos or similar, feel free to ask.

Kind regards,

Alexander Holler
