[PATCH 00/13] Improve the loop driver

Hi Jens,

This patch series fixes two bugs and enables lock context analysis in the loop
driver. While I am aware that the merge window is open, I'm posting this patch
series anyway such that reviewing of this patch series can start.

This series of patches is a reworked version of a subset of the series
"[PATCH v2 00/12] Enable lock context analysis in drivers/block/". In this
version Nilay's feedback has been addressed.

Thanks,

Bart.
