Re: [PATCH] Remove broken by design and by implementation devtmpfs maintenance disaster

[Eric W. Biederman]

As for losetup.  Arguably the right way to handle that one is the old
fashioned way:

mknod /dev/loop0
losetup /dev/loop0

In that case the kernel calls modprobe for us.  I don't see why we should
have a race in the first place. Even calling modprobe explicitly seems
like a hack in this case.
