Commit 0da03cab87e6
("loop: Fix deadlock when calling blkdev_reread_part()") moves
blkdev_reread_part() out of the loop_ctl_mutex. However,
GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set before __blkdev_reread_part(). As a result,
__blkdev_reread_part() will fail the check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN and
will not rescan the loop device to delete all partitions.

Below are steps to reproduce the issue:

step1 # dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.raw bs=1M count=100
step2 # losetup -P /dev/loop0 tmp.raw
step3 # parted /dev/loop0 mklabel gpt
step4 # parted -a none -s /dev/loop0 mkpart primary 64s 1
step5 # losetup -d /dev/loop0

Step5 will not be able to delete /dev/loop0p1 (introduced by step4) and
there is below kernel warning message:

[  464.414043] __loop_clr_fd: partition scan of loop0 failed (rc=-22)

This patch sets GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after blkdev_reread_part().

Fixes: 0da03cab87e6 ("loop: Fix deadlock when calling blkdev_reread_part()")

Can you perhaps write a blktest for this? Thanks!

So I don't think this change is actually correct. The problem is that once
lo->lo_state is set to Lo_unbound and loop_ctl_mutex is unlocked, the loop
device structure can be reused for a new device (bound to a new file). So
you cannot safely manipulate flags on lo->lo_disk anymore. But I think we
can just move the setting of lo->lo_state to Lo_unbound after partscan has
finished as well. There cannot be anybody else entering __loop_clr_fd() as
lo->lo_backing_file is already cleared and Lo_rundown state protects us
from all the other places trying to change the 'lo' device (please make
this last sentence into a comment in the code explaining why setting
lo->lo_state so late is fine). Thanks!

I will write a blktest for above case. Thanks for the suggestion.

I will set lo->lo_state to Lo_unbound after partscan in v2.

Thank you very much!
