[Bug 1437414] Re: kernel unable to unmount loopbacks & leaks them

 

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.0 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  kernel unable to unmount loopbacks & leaks them

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  run the attached script which:
   - creates a disk image
   - creates an ext2 fs in the middle of it
   - mounts that ext2 fs via loopback
   - deploys & runs some code in that mount
   - tries to unmount it

  the kernel ends up saying the mount is busy (it's not) and it's not
  possible to detach the loopback (probably because even with a lazy
  unmount, the kernel holds references to it)

  this is the utopic kernel 3.16.0-33
