I looked at the LTP test case failure and also the function tst_detach_device_by_fd() which failed. Our kernel patch will defer all the attempts to detach a loop device to the last close, to fix an issue.
The tst_detach_device_by_fd() in LTP test case will open the loop device and repeatedly checks for error code ENXIO. As the new approach, as I mentioned above, will defer the detach to last close and the last close happens *only* when the LTP test function tst_detach_device_by_fd() returns, the test will obviously fail. So, Can you please modify the LTP test case to accommodate the new behaviour of kernel code for loop detach?
Please let us know your comments.
Regards,
Gulam Mohamed.
