Alyssa Ross bee9ca40b8 loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions 
[ Upstream commit bb430b6942 ]

LOOP_CONFIGURE is, as far as I understand it, supposed to be a way to
combine LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64 into a single syscall.  When
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64, a single uevent would be sent for
each partition found on the loop device after the second ioctl(), but
when using LOOP_CONFIGURE, no such uevent was being sent.

In the old setup, uevents are disabled for LOOP_SET_FD, but not for
LOOP_SET_STATUS64.  This makes sense, as it prevents uevents being
sent for a partially configured device during LOOP_SET_FD - they're
only sent at the end of LOOP_SET_STATUS64.  But for LOOP_CONFIGURE,
uevents were disabled for the entire operation, so that final
notification was never issued.  To fix this, reduce the critical
section to exclude the loop_reread_partitions() call, which causes
the uevents to be issued, to after uevents are re-enabled, matching
the behaviour of the LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 combination.

I noticed this because Busybox's losetup program recently changed from
using LOOP_SET_FD+LOOP_SET_STATUS64 to LOOP_CONFIGURE, and this broke
my setup, for which I want a notification from the kernel any time a
new partition becomes available.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
