Thanks for debugging this but this doesn't quiet make sense to me. See

So this is normal - UDF sets block size it wants on the device during
mount. Now we have the block device exclusively open so nobody should be
changing it.

And this is strange. set_blocksize() is only called from loop_set_fd() but
that means that the loop device must already be in lo->lo_state ==
Lo_unbound. But loop device that is being used should never be in
Lo_unbound state... Except if... Oh, I see what the problem is:

UDF opens unbound loop device (through mount_bdev() ->
blkdev_get_by_path()). That succeeds as loop allows opens on unbound
devices so that ioctl can be run to set it up. UDF sets block size for the
block device. Someone else comes and calls LOOP_SET_FD for the device and
plop, block device block size changes under UDF's hands.

The question is how to fix this problem. The simplest fix I can see is that
we'd just refuse to do LOOP_SET_FD if someone has the block device
exclusively open as there are high chances such user will be unpleasantly
surprised by the device changing under him. OTOH this has some potential
for userspace visible regressions. But I guess it's worth a try. Something
like attached patch?

Let syzbot test the patch as well:

Subject: [PATCH] loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive opener

Loop module allows calling LOOP_SET_FD while there are other openers of
the loop device. Even exclusive ones. This can lead to weird
consequences such as kernel deadlocks like:

mount_bdev()				lo_ioctl()
  udf_fill_super()
    udf_load_vrs()
      sb_set_blocksize() - sets desired block size B
      udf_tread()
        sb_bread()
          __bread_gfp(bdev, block, B)
					  loop_set_fd()
					    set_blocksize()
            - now __getblk_slow() indefinitely loops because B != bdev
              block size

Fix the problem by disallowing LOOP_SET_FD ioctl when there are
exclusive openers of a loop device.

(1) If I understand correctly, FMODE_EXCL is set at blkdev_open() only if O_EXCL
    is specified. How can we detect if O_EXCL was not used, for the reproducer
    ( https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=135385a8a00000 ) is not
    using O_EXCL ?

(2) There seems to be no serialization. What guarantees that mount_bdev()
    does not start due to preempted after the check added by this patch?

Yes.

mount_bdev() is using O_EXCL and that's what matters.

That's a good question. lo_ctl_mutex actually synchronizes most of this
(taken in both loop_set_fd() and lo_open()) but you're right that there's
still a small race window where loop_set_fd() need not see bdev->bd_holders
elevated while blkdev_get() will succeed. So I need to think a bit more
about proper synchronization of this.

OK, so non-racy fix was a bit more involved and I've ended up just
upgrading the file reference to an exclusive one in loop_set_fd() instead
of trying to hand-craft some locking solution. The result is attached and
it passes blktests.

Let syzbot also test it:

blkdev_get() has corresponding blkdev_put().
bdgrab() does not have corresponding bdput() ?

Yes, and that's hidden inside blkdev_put() (or failing blkdev_get()). Don't
get me started on calling conventions of these functions... I've wasted half
an hour trying to figure out where I'm leaking inode references in my patch
;).
