[PATCH v2 6/7] loopfs: start attaching correct namespace during loop_add()

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 10:55:28 EST


Tag loop devices with the namespace the loopfs instance was mounted in.
This has the consequence that loopfs devices carry the correct sysfs
permissions for all their core files. All other devices files will
continue to be correctly owned by the initial namespaces. Here is sample
output:

root@b1:~# mount -t loop loop /mnt
root@b1:~# ln -sf /mnt/loop-control /dev/loop-control
root@b1:~# losetup -f
/dev/loop8
root@b1:~# ln -sf /mnt/loop8 /dev/loop8
root@b1:~# ls -al /sys/class/block/loop8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 7 13:06 /sys/class/block/loop8 -> ../../devices/virtual/block/loop8
root@b1:~# ls -al /sys/class/block/loop8/
