The loop module is one of critical components for syzkaller fuzzing.
Bugs which involves the loop module prevents syzkaller from finding/testing
other bugs. But changes are continuously applied without careful review.
Therefore, the changes and code are not getting correct. Stable work cannot
come afterwards...
I know a very simple solution: review them and provide detailed feedback.
It's not like patches just appear in a tree somewhere.
You don't know, and nobody knows, a simple solution that can apply to my case:
I'm not your exclusive reviewer, and I'm not familiar with the block layer.
Actually, I'm not a developer living in block layer, and I'm not subscribed
to linux-block mailing list. I check bugs reported by syzbot, and analyze
and try to write patches. I can't afford monitoring patches of all mailing
lists.
In order words, I can't review your patches and can't provide detailed feedback
(unless you cc me with detailed explanation of why it is safe to make such change).
Bugs are merged everywhere but I can't prevent bugs from getting merged. I monitor
bugs reported by syzbot. It is exactly like patches just appear in a tree somewhere.
