From v4.4, linux kernel starts to support direct I/O and
AIO to backing file for loop driver, so allow losetup to
enable the feature by using LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO ioctl cmd.

The function uses "int" as argument, but for array size (and index) is better
to use unsigned type (size_t). If we mix "size_t" in util (e.g. fdisk)
and "int" in lib/strutils.c then result is unexpected behavior on
ppc64.

losetup ignores the EBUSY error. In the loop fo A_CREATE action, it skips
the error handling when errno = EBUSY. It's OK for the case where no loop
device is specified, but the error has to be handled when the device is given
explicitly.

* rename *_no_foo() functions to _nofoo()
* output formats are mutually exclusive, so don't use flags there

The option is unsupported since v2.23, let's cleanup man pages and

Kernel aligns the device size, but the offset where the device starts
is not required to be aligned.
# losetup --offset 32 -f file.img
is just fine, the final size of the look device will be (in sectors)
(backing_file_size - offset) >> 9
so we have to do the same in userspace when we check for successful
set capacity ioctl.

Now we use LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE ioctl to ask for free device, for example
losetup -f foo.img
Unfortunately, losetup(8) allows to ask for specified device
losetup /dev/loop100 foo.img
and in this case we assume that the device already exists in the
system. This is incorrect, we should be able to use loop-control
LOOP_CTL_ADD ioctl to ask for the specified device.

The code is not paranoid enough, loopcxt_set_device() only set the
device name to loopdev struct, but it does not check if the device
really exists.

It's usually unnecessary as we compare devno and ino, but let's
use absolute paths for situations when it's necessary to compare
paths as strings.

I recently tried to mount an hfsplus file system from an image file with
a partition table by using the loop offset and sizelimit options to specify
the location of the file system.
hfsplus stores some metadata at a set offset from the end of the partition,
so it's sensitive to the device size reported by the kernel.
It worked with this:
But failed with this:
/dev/loop0: [0089]:2 (<imagefile>), offset 32768, sizelimit 102400000
/dev/loop1: [0089]:2 (<imagefile>), offset 32768, sizelimit 102400000
/proc/partitions shows the correct number of blocks to match the sizelimit.
But if I set a breakpoint in mount before the mount syscall, I could see:
102400000
102432768
The kernel loop driver will set the gendisk capacity of the device at
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 but won't sync it to the block device until one of two
conditions are met: All open file descriptors referring to the device are
closed (and it will sync when re-opened) or if the LOOP_SET_CAPACITY ioctl
is called to sync it. Since mount opens the device and passes it directly
to the mount syscall after LOOP_SET_STATUS64 without closing and reopening
it, the sizelimit argument is effectively ignroed. The capacity needs to
be synced immediately for it to work as expected.
This patch adds the LOOP_SET_CAPACITY call to loopctx_setup_device since
the device isn't yet released to the user, so it's safe to sync the capacity
immediately.

kernel cryptoloop is deprecated since ages and support for cryptoloop
in util-linux is incomplete/broken.
- no password hashing
- last 8 bit of key are always set to zero
- no binary keys possible (stops reading key at \n and \0)
In the past some Distros added the above features with patches. So
remove cryptoloop support from util-linux completely to make sure
people won't try using it.
