[PATCH] loop device broken in 2.5.38
The loop device driver was broken in 2.5.38 when it was converted over to use gendisk. I discovered this while doing final regression testing on the ext3 htree code. The problem is that figure_loop_size() is setting the capacity of the loop device in kilobytes (because that's what compute_loop_size() returns), but set_capacity() expects the size in 512 byte sectors. I've enclosed a patch which fixes the problem, as well as simplifying the code by eliminating compute_loop_size(), since it is a static function is only used once by figure_loop_size().
