From 782ee2aa0e1646aebc96c8590ddc0a16405b8297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wallace Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 16:17:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] libbb/loop: don't try to re-use existing loop device loopinfo.lo_file_name is not enough to uniquely identify a file on a system with multiple mount namespaces. We could conceivably change this to dedup on (lo_rdevice, lo_inode), but, as the comment above the deleted code notes, this whole approach of reusing devices is racy anyway, so it seems better to stop doing it entirely.
