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: Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: NMI backtrace for cpu 1 CPU: 1 PID: 10863 Comm: syz-executor0 Not tainted 4.18.0-rc5+ #151 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011 RIP: 0010:__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc+0x3f/0x50 kernel/kcov.c:106 ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
