*	Don't use close_range as it might or might not collide with libc	Simon Rettberg	2022-12-07	1	-14/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \|	We don't have anything in place to actually generate a correct config.h, so to avoid breaking either newer or older distros, don't use the offending syscall at all.

*	Setup xloop device with XLOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl call	Manuel Bentele	2020-12-02	1	-1/+14
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This feature allows the userspace tool xlosetup to completely setup a loop device with a single ioctl call, removing the in-between state where the device can be partially configured, eg. the loop device has a backing file associated with it, but is reading from the wrong offset. Besides removing the intermediate state, another big benefit of this ioctl is that XLOOP_SET_STATUS can be slow. The main reason for this slowness is that XLOOP_SET_STATUS(64) calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() to freeze the associated queue. This requires waiting for RCU.
*	Move the source code of all xloop components to the common 'src' directory	Manuel Bentele	2020-10-23	69	-0/+6051
