Calling lock twice
Locking twice? But what happens if some program calls loop_set_status more
than once? Losetup doesn't, but if such program exists, locking is still
screwed.
No, it calls loop_release_xfer always before init_xfer, which will release
the permanent use count.

Hi,
There is a bug in the locking scheme for the encryption functions,
which can be hooked into the loop device. I have a patch
which resolves the problem. First what happens:
If you do (for example) a losetup -e twofish /dev/loop0 test.lop
the following happens:
The loop0 device gets opened
