    loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributes · ee862730
    Milan Broz authored
    Create /sys/block/loopX/loop directory and provide these attributes:
     - backing_file
     - autoclear
     - offset
     - sizelimit
    
    This loop directory is present only if loop device is configured.
    
    To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules)
    where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store
    duplicate info in userspace).
    
    Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing
    file info because of buffer limits.
