    blockdev: Fix livelocks on loop device · 0fb89795

     upstream.
    
    bd_set_size() updates also block device's block size. This is somewhat
    unexpected from its name and at this point, only blkdev_open() uses this
    functionality. Furthermore, this can result in changing block size under
    a filesystem mounted on a loop device which leads to livelocks inside
    __getblk_gfp() like:

    Trivial reproducer for the problem looks like:
    
    truncate -s 1G /tmp/image
    losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/image
    mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/loop0
    mount -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /mnt
    losetup -c /dev/loop0
    l /mnt
    
    Fix the problem by moving initialization of a block device block size
    into a separate function and call it when needed.
    
    Thanks to Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> for help with
    debugging the problem.
