2.6.0-test2: cursor started to disappear
Hi!
Under 2.6.0-test2 cursor problems got worse... Sometimes cursor just disappears. Switching consoles does not help.
Plus I'm seeing some silent data corruption. It may be swsusp or loop related, don't yet know how to reproduce it (ext2 on hp omnibook xe3).

Loop is not stable at all. Unsuitable for daily use.

Ouch... I have my most important filesystem on loop. Time to go back to 2.4.X? Or do you have some patches you want me to try?

Jari's version of loop.c has always been solid.

Hmm, looks like I should do that.

Jari Ruusu? Okay, I'll test that.

Time to go back to 2.0.x --- it's the only kernel where loop was correctly (almost) deadlockless implemented :)

That's the first I've heard about it. Do you have some details on this? A test case perhaps?

Yes, there are many reports, and it is easy to confirm.
By some coincidence just a moment ago we saw the announcement of Bugzilla bug 1000:
[Bug 1000] New: file corruption using cryptoloop on ext2/ext3

That's cryptoloop. I thought you were referring to vanilla loop.
Are you saying that the problems are only with cryptoloop, or does normal old loop have some bug?

It would be too optimistic to claim that it has none, but the easily provoked corruption I mentioned is for cryptoloop. Sorry for being imprecise.

After a while (week of use), kernel started complaining about "block already freed in inode X" or something like that. I rebooted and fsck found nothing serious (that is normal loop). I've now switched to Jari's version of loop -- I'd like to keep this filesystem.
