From: Miao Xie Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 03:38:51 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Btrfs: fix loop device on top of btrfs X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a001071d3549f596c7c3736c5dda8a3a4aba9ed;p=linux-beck.git Btrfs: fix loop device on top of btrfs We cannot use the loop device which has been connected to a file in the btrf The reproduce steps is following: # dd if=/dev/zero of=vdev0 bs=1M count=1024 # losetup /dev/loop0 vdev0 # mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0 ... failed to zero device start -5 The reason is that the btrfs don't implement either ->write_begin or ->write the VFS API, so we fix it by setting ->write to do_sync_write().
