Add bd_loop_info_from_fd, bd_loop_teardown_from_fd, bd_loop_set_autoclear_from_fd and bd_loop_set_capacity_from_fd which operate on an already open file descriptor of the loop device instead of opening it by name. This lets consumers open the device early on their side and pass it in, avoiding race conditions.

The existing name-based functions now just open the device and delegate to their _from_fd counterparts (mirroring bd_loop_setup/setup_from_fd) to avoid duplicating the ioctl logic.

Resolves: #1208

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added file-descriptor-based operations for retrieving loop-device information, tearing down devices, managing autoclear settings, and updating capacity.
    • Existing path-based loop-device operations remain available.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the loop API documentation index with the new operations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for loop-device operations using open file descriptors, including offsets, autoclear settings, teardown, and capacity changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The loop plugin adds four file-descriptor APIs. Path-based functions delegate to these APIs after opening the device. Tests cover teardown, information retrieval, autoclear changes, and capacity refresh.

Changes

Loop file-descriptor API

Layer / File(s) Summary
File-descriptor API contracts
src/lib/plugin_apis/loop.api, src/plugins/loop.h, docs/libblockdev-sections.txt
Defines and documents four APIs for loop-device information, teardown, autoclear, and capacity operations using an open file descriptor.
File-descriptor operation implementation
src/plugins/loop.c
Adds fd-based ioctl operations and backing-file lookup. Existing path-based functions open the device, delegate to the fd-based functions, and close the descriptor.
File-descriptor operation tests
tests/loop_test.py
Tests fd-based teardown, information retrieval, autoclear changes, and capacity refresh.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2077c

The new descriptor-based loop APIs add the requested operations and test coverage, but suppressed cleanup failures can leave loop devices allocated during test runs. Narrow the exception before merge to retain visibility into teardown failures.

Explanation

The pull request satisfies issue #1208 by adding four loop API functions that consume open file descriptors. Existing path-based functions delegate to these implementations, which supports early device opening and reduces race-condition risk.

Do not hide unexpected cleanup failures.

except: catches every BaseException, and pass hides failures from BlockDev.loop_teardown. If teardown fails for a reason other than an already-detached loop, the helper still unlinks self.dev_file and can leave the loop device allocated. Catch only the expected detached-loop error and let unexpected failures surface.
