| H A D | loop.c | a0e286b6 Wed Mar 30 00:29:16 CDT 2022 Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> loop: remove lo_refcount and avoid lo_mutex in ->open / ->release
lo_refcount counts how many openers a loop device has, but that count
is already provided by the block layer in the bd_openers field of the
whole-disk block_device. Remove lo_refcount and allow opens to
succeed even on devices beeing deleted - now that ->free_disk is
implemented we can handle that race gracefull and all I/O on it will
just fail. Similarly there is a small race window now where
loop_control_remove does not synchronize the delete vs the remove
due do bd_openers not being under lo_mutex protection, but we can
handle that just as gracefully.
