Hi,

After operating the /dev/loop which losetup with an image placed in tmpfs,

I got the following ERROR messages:

I have found the commit which introduce this issue by git bisect :

     commit :efcfec57[loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior]


Kernrel version: Linux version 5.6.0

Frequency: every time

steps to reproduce:

   1.git clone mainline kernel

   2.compile kernel with ARCH=x86_64, and then boot the system with it

     (seems other arch also can reproduce it )

   3.make an image by "dd of=/tmp/image if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256"

   4.place the image in tmpfs directory

   5.losetup /dev/loop6 /PATH/image

   6.mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop6


Any comments will be appreciated.


Thanks,

Yanfei
