The current implementation of the function does not care if the device
is whole-disk device or partition, all is loopdev. This is regression
as the original is_loopdev() version was based on whole-disk devices
major numbers only.

It seems the current kernel can create a loop devices with a different
major number. For example
# losetup /dev/loop12345678 file.img
# lsblk /dev/loop12345678
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop12345678 15:811342 0 5M 0 loop
We need a way how to verify the device is loopdev also when the device is
not associated with any backing file -- in this case there is no "loop"
directory in /sys/dev/block/<maj:min>/, but we can cannonicalize this sysfs
symlink as it points to /sys/devices/virtual/block/loop<n> (see "loop" in
the path).
Note that without this change losetup is not able to list and delete
the loop device.

* do not ignore all empty devices, we need more smart solution
* ignore only loop devices without backing file, for example:
# touch img
# losetup -f img
losetup: img: Warning: file is smaller than 512 bytes; the loop device may be useless or invisible for system tools.
- old version display nothing
- new version:
# lsblk /dev/loop0

A recent bugfix in the Linux kernel made it possible for the
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl to fail when called with a non-zero offset,
with an EAGAIN errno:
5db470e229e2 loop: drop caches if offset or block_size are changed
This fix changes a silent failure (where mount could sometimes access
the backing loop image through the cache without the specified offset)
to an explicit failure, and it has also been backported on stable
branches.
On a 5.0 kernel, other changes to the loop driver make it hard to get
generate the EAGAIN error, but this bugfix has also been backported to
stables branches, without these changes. At least with the 4.14 stable
branch, the EAGAIN error can be quickly generated with the following loop:
while mount -o loop,offset=239 disk point && umount point; do :; done
Retry the ioctl when it fails with EAGAIN, which means that mount or
losetup will eventually succeed when encountering this case.

The partition scanner in kernel depends on blocksize. We need to set
the blocksize before we call LOOP_SET_STATUS64 (this ioctl triggers
the scanner).
This patch extends the internal API to save blocksize into loopdev
context to be usable later for loopcxt_setup_device().
Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
Now the internal API uses loopcxt_set_...() to set context variables
as well as to call ioctls. This patch introduces loopcxt_ioctl_...()
to makes things more obvious to readers.

* introduce new flag __UL_DEBUG_FL_NOADDR to suppress pointer address printing
* use __UL_DEBUG_FL_NOADDR when SUID
* move ul_debugobj() to debugobj.h, and require UL_DEBUG_CURRENT_MASK
to provide access to the current mask from ul_debugobj(). It's better
than modify all ul_debugobj() calls and use the global mask as

Kernel since 4.14 supports setting of logical block size[1]. It allows to
create loop devices that report logical block size different from 512.
Add support for this feature to losetup.

The function is_loopdev does not set errno if the supplied string does
not reference a valid loop device. Fix this to avoid an error message
like this one:
losetup: /: failed to use device: Success
I prefer this one:
losetup: /: failed to use device: No such device

Implement stand-alone loopcxt_set_status(). It allows manipulation with some
loop device parameters even if it is initialized.
Its function is limited by the kernel implementation, and only a small subset of
changes is allowed.

This patch introduces overlap detections and loop devices
re-use for losetup(8). We already support this feature for mount(8)
where it's enabled by default (because we mount filesystems and it's
always mistake to share the same filesystem between more loop
devices).
Stanislav has suggested to enable this feature also for losetup by
default. I'm not sure about it, IMHO it's better to keep losetup(8)
simple and stupid by default, and inform users about possible problems
and solutions in the man page.
The feature forces losetup to scan all loop devices always when new
one is requested. This maybe disadvantage (especially when we use
control-loop to avoid /sys or /dev scans) on system with huge number
of loop devices.

The current code scans loopdevs to detect already used loop device and
another scan to detect overlap.
Let's use one scan only, for this purpose loopcxt_find_overlap() has
been modified to return info (rc==2) about full size and offset match.

Fully safe checks of loop device need to check sizelimit. To prevent need of two
nearly equal functions, introduce sizelimit parameter to several internal
functions:
loopdev_is_used()
loopdev_find_by_backing_file()
loopcxt_is_used()
loopcxt_find_by_backing_file()
If sizelimit is zero, fall back to the old behavior (ignoring of sizelimit).

On system with /dev/lop-control the udevd creates /dev/loopN nodes.
It seems better to wait a moment after unsuccessful open(/dev/loopN)
and try it to open again.
The problem is pretty visible on systems where udevd also modifies
permission for loopN devices, then open() fails with EACCES when
losetup executed by non-root user (but user who is in "disk" group).
