Hi,

After operating the /dev/loop which losetup with an image placed in tmpfs,

I got the following ERROR messages:

I have found the commit which introduce this issue by git bisect :

    commit :efcfec57[loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior]


Kernrel version: Linux version 5.6.0

Frequency: every time

steps to reproduce:

  1.git clone mainline kernel

  2.compile kernel with ARCH=x86_64, and then boot the system with it

    (seems other arch also can reproduce it )

  3.make an image by "dd of=/tmp/image if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256"

  4.place the image in tmpfs directory

  5.losetup /dev/loop6 /PATH/image

  6.mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop6


Any comments will be appreciated.


Thanks,

Yanfei
