And I've already told you that I think this is going in the wrong direction and
do not thing it is a good idea.

and "[PATCH] loop: replace loop_ctl_mutex with loop_idr_spinlock"
( https://lkml.kernel.org/r/2642808b-a7d0-28ff-f288-0f4eabc562f7@i-love.sakura.ne.jp ) for v5.15 (but not stable).

I will review this.

Don't try to merge the cryptoloop module into the loop module now; it makes
backporting the fix difficult.

Which is on the one true, on the other hand simply does not matter.
