Hi,
I was trying to mount my test filesystem module on the loopback using
the command
#mount -t myfs /tmp/testfs /tmp/mount -o loop
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
mount: permission denied
However it always fails with the above error. I am trying this in an
UML environment and have the loop support enabled. While trying to
debug the issue I saw that the value of bdev pointer in the function
bd_claim is different when it returns back to get_sb_bdev (See the gdb
trace below). Values of interest are marked with <<== identifier. Any
suggestions why this could be happening.
bd_claim (bdev=0x907ba38, holder=0x28800d60) at fs/block_dev.c:660
660 {
(gdb) n
665 if (bdev->bd_holder == holder)
(gdb) p bdev->bd_holder
$10 = (void *) 0x0
(gdb) n
667 else if (bdev->bd_holder != NULL)
(gdb)
669 else if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev)
(gdb)
685 bdev->bd_contains->bd_holders ++;
(gdb) p bdev->bd_contains
$11 = (struct block_device *) 0x907ba38
(gdb) p bdev
$12 = (struct block_device *) 0x907ba38
<<==== value different here
(gdb) n
687 bdev->bd_holders++;
(gdb)
686 bdev->bd_contains->bd_holder = bd_claim;
(gdb)
688 bdev->bd_holder = holder;
