Aufs will be unusable on such system. How do you think about moving symbol_request(loop_backing_file) from au_loopback_init() to au_test_loopback_overlap(), and no changes about Kconfig? It will postpone the symbol resolution and loading loop module until a user adds a loopback-mounted branch to aufs. Since I am afraid that disabling AUFS_BDEV_LOOP while BLK_DEV_LOOP=m will make users confused very much, I don't think it a good idea to change Kconfig as your patch. Thanx J. R. Okajima I'm also happy with this runtime loading approach :-) I compiled patched kernel with AUFS_FS=y and BLK_DEV_LOOP=m, and the dmesg error does not appear at boot time. But it seems to still load loop module as soon as I mount any branch with aufs. To test, I tried to mount two branches together, that are not on a loopback filesystem. The mount succeeded, but loop module was loaded, even though there was no loopback-mounted branch involved (loopback filesystems are filesystems in a file, not device, mounted with mount -o loop, right ? So normal file system normally shouldn't...). I'm not really into kernel code, but think this happens because test_overlap() from branch.c always calls au_test_loopback_overlap() when you add any branch, not only a when adding a loopback branch. I there should be some check if it's really a loop branch, before loading everything (if that is possible). I tested again on a kernel with the same configuration, but without loop module file existing in /lib/modules/...

I'd think you can't be faced with a loopback mountpoint to use as branch if loop is not known to the kernel ;-) So probably something like bool check_if_loopback_overlap(){ if(!kernel_has_loop_already_loaded_or_compiled_in()) { //kernel doesn't know anything about loop, so branch //can't be a loopback one return false } //kernel currently has support for loop else { symbol_request();... return really_check_overlap_now(); } } If something like that is not possible, I think it should at least be documented that aufs needs loop module file on first mount if it was compiled with BLK_DEV_LOOP=m Florian -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Re: Linux 3.11-rc7: loop_backing_file() is not defined
The error message also appears when both aufs and loop are compiled as a module. The problem is that depmod doesn't detect loop as a dependency module of aufs. So you need to manually load loop, then aufs (happens in Archlinux linux-zen kernel, for example). I got the following answer about it: Depmod only figures out dependencies via undefined symbols. AUFS doesn't call loop_backing_file directly, it just redirects it. Seems that this doesn't create a detectable dependency. Is there anything you can do about this?
