Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix cannot use the loop device
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:38:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C0C69CB.2070104@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

we cannot use the loop device which has been connected to a file in the btrf

The reproduce steps is following:
 # dd if=/dev/zero of=vdev0 bs=1M count=1024
 # losetup /dev/loop0 vdev0
 # mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0
 ...
 failed to zero device start -5

The reason is that the btrfs don't implement either ->write_begin or ->write
the VFS API, so we fix it by setting ->write to do_sync_write().
