Speak of loop device, I'm waiting for Jens for three months http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1527297408-4428-1-git-send-email-penguin-ker...@i-love.sakura.ne.jp but Jens is too busy to come up with an alternative. Since that is a big patch, I wish we can start testing that patch before Jan starts writing a patch for fixing getblk() race problem.
