The reproducer mounts ext4 filesystem and sets block size on loop0 loop device to 32k using LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE. Now because there are multiple reproducer running using various loop devices it can happen that we're setting blocksize during mount which obviously confuses the filesystem (and makes sb mismatch the bdev block size). It is really not a good idea to allow setting block size (or capacity for that matter) underneath an exclusive opener. The ioctl should have required exclusive open from the start but now it's too late to change that so we need to perform a similar dance with bd_prepare_to_claim() as in loop_configure() to grab temporary exclusive access... Sigh. Anyway, the commit 77eb64439ad5 is just a victim that switched KERN_ERR messages in the log to WARN_ON so syzbot started to notice this breakage. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
