Good work. The patch fixes a serious bug on 3.6.5, 3.6.6, 3.6.7 and 3.6.8
I hope it gets mainlined ASAP

Is there a plan to include this brilliant code in mainline Kernel?
It works excellent, tested with 15000 loop devices, it's simply cool.
Thank you for your considerat

This will make it _completely_ backward-compatible, with very small code

Just my two cents.
Thank you for reading so far.

So, from my point of view, it would be better to fix/enhance Linux's loop.

I'm offering MONEY for this task.
