From df5118fd61c03d9a7fae38fd7b7cb9afbec0a21d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:51:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] loop: properly send KOBJ_CHANGED uevent for disk device MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit e7bc0010ceb403d025100698586c8e760921d471 upstream. The original commit message and the wording "uncork" in the code comment indicate that it is expected that the suppressed event instances are automatically sent after unsuppressing. This is not the case, instead they are discarded. In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device itself by default. While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted. This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug. Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.
