loop.py is a simple wrapper around the kernel loop API. remoteloop.py uses this to create a server/clinet pair that communicates over an AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM socket to allow the server to create loop devices for the client. The client passes a fd that should be bound to the resulting loop device, and a dir-fd where the loop device node should be created. The server returns the name of the device node to the client. The idea is that the client is run from whithin a container without access to devtmpfs (and hence /dev/loop-control), and the server runs on the host. The client would typically pass its (fake) /dev as the output directory. For the client this will be similar to `losetup -f foo.img --show`. [@larskarlitski: pylint: ignore the new LoopInfo class, because it only has dynamic attributes. Also disable attribute-defined-outside-init, which (among other problems) is not ignored for that class.] Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> |
