Commit33ec3e53e7("loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive opener") made LOOP_SET_FD ioctl acquire exclusive block device reference while it updates loop device binding. However this can make perfectly valid mount(2) fail with EBUSY due to racing LOOP_SET_FD holding temporarily the exclusive bdev reference in cases like this: for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$i.image bs=1k count=0 seek=1024 mkfs.ext2 $i.image mkdir mnt$i done echo "Run" for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do mount -o loop -t ext2 $i.image mnt$i & done Fix the problem by not getting full exclusive bdev reference in LOOP_SET_FD but instead just mark the bdev as being claimed while we update the binding information. This just blocks new exclusive openers instead of failing them with EBUSY thus fixing the problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
