*	xlosetup: removed warning about unsuitable backing file size	Manuel Bentele	2020-09-16	1	-24/+0
\| \| \| \|	Warning might be flase positiv if a QCOW backing file is loaded. The correct check of the file format size is already implemented in the xloop Linux kernel module and not needed in xlosetup anymore.
*	Renamed losetup to xlosetup in man page	Manuel Bentele	2020-09-16	1	-60/+60

*	Added file format file format subsystem for loop devices	Manuel Bentele	2020-09-16	15	-1624/+1861
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The loop device module is extended by a file format subsystem to allow the implementation of various disk file formats. The file format drivers are implemented as own kernel modules and registered by the subsystem. The subsystem takes control over the specified file format at loop creation and calls the corresponding file format driver functions. At the moment, the file format subsystem can handle ... - read - write - discard - flush - sector size ... operations of loop devices. The file format of each loop device can be specified by the LOOP_CONFIGURE LOOP_SET_STATUS or LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl with the corresponding data structure loop_info or respectively loop_info64.
*	Cache last decompressed cluster for compressed QCOW	Simon Rettberg	2020-08-05	2	-31/+37
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The naive implementation repeatedly decompressed the same cluster for every 4k read, which was incredibly wasteful and resulted in ~20MB/s read speeds if the underlying qcow2 was read via GBit network. This approach yields 200MB/s+
*	Change loop%d strings to xloop%d	Simon Rettberg	2020-08-04	1	-5/+5
\|
*	Kernel 5.4	Simon Rettberg	2020-07-21	2	-46/+62
\|
*	gitignore	Simon Rettberg	2020-07-21	1	-0/+8
\|
*	Fix README	Simon Rettberg	2020-07-21	1	-1/+1
\|
*	Remove cryptoloop from build process	Simon Rettberg	2020-07-21	2	-218/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \|	Main code still contains references to cryptoloop everywhere. We could remove it, but that would make merging futore changes from the vanilla loop module more complicated.
*	udev rule for /dev/xloop*	Jonathan Bauer	2020-06-03	1	-0/+37
\|
*	Noted kernel version support in README.md	Jonathan Bauer	2020-06-02	1	-0/+2
\|
*	Rename to xloop	Jonathan Bauer	2020-05-29	4	-32/+35
\|
*	Initial working state	Jonathan Bauer	2020-05-29	6	-96/+106
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	* Moved old Makefile to Kbuild.in * New Makefile to compile against running kernel (or KDIR) * Moved file format defines from loop/include/uapi/linux/loop.h to loop_file_fmt.h * Moved definitions of loop_info{,64} to loop_file_fmt.h * Renamed loop_info{,64} to xloop_info{,64} * Removed checks for file format support which was now unneeded
*	Initial code from Manuel Bentele	Jonathan Bauer	2020-05-29	14	-0/+5652
	kept unchanged for reference.
