[ Upstream commit 457ef47c08d2979f3e59ce66267485c3faed70c8 ]
Set kernel config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=0
Do latter:
mknod loop0 b 7 0 exec 4<> loop0
Before commit e418de3abcda ("block: switch gendisk lookup to a simple xarray"), lookup_gendisk will first use base_probe to load module loop, and then the retry will call loop_probe to prepare the loop disk. Finally open for this disk will success. However, after this commit, we lose the retry logic, and open will fail with ENXIO. Block device autoloading is deprecated and will be removed soon, but maybe we should keep open success until we really remove it. So, give a retry to fix it.
