[PATCH v1 0/2] block: brd/loop error-path cleanup

From: Iván Ezequiel Rodriguez

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 14:12:30 EST


Hi,

Two small error-path cleanups in brd and loop.

Patch 1 destroys the brd xarray on allocation failure after xa_init().
Patch 2 restores backing-file GFP mask, clears lo_backing_file /
lo_device, and re-enables uevents when loop_configure() fails after
loop_assign_backing_file().

Base: v7.3-rc1

Tested: built bzImage with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y;
booted QEMU initramfs smoke (ram0 present + LOOP_CONFIGURE happy path).

Thanks,
Iván
