Apparently, if IO is still in flight at the moment we invoke LOOP_CLR_FD
it is likely simply dropped (probably because yanking physical storage,
such as a USB stick would drop it too). Let's protect ourselves against
that and always sync explicitly before we invoke it.
return NULL;
if (d->fd >= 0) {
+ /* Implicitly sync the device, since otherwise in-flight blocks might not get written */
+ if (fsync(d->fd) < 0)
+ log_debug_errno(errno, "Failed to sync loop block device, ignoring: %m");
+
if (d->nr >= 0 && !d->relinquished) {
if (ioctl(d->fd, LOOP_CLR_FD) < 0)
log_debug_errno(errno, "Failed to clear loop device: %m");
log_warning_errno(errno, "Failed to remove device %s: %m", strna(d->node));
break;
}
- usleep(50 * USEC_PER_MSEC);
+ (void) usleep(50 * USEC_PER_MSEC);
}
}
