[Bug 1543430] Re: kpartx 0.5.0-7ubuntu11 fails to remove loop mapping on kpartx -d

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package multipath-tools - 0.5.0-7ubuntu14

---------------
multipath-tools (0.5.0-7ubuntu14) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/kpartx_more_loopback_fixes.patch: fix loopback mounted
    files some more: since we stat() the loopback device node, we can't rely
    on S_ISREG() tests to handle this case, and should look at the device
    itself instead. (LP: #1543430)
  * debian/tests/kpartx-file-loopback: check for left-over loop devices after
    deleting a map.

Title:
  kpartx 0.5.0-7ubuntu11 fails to remove loop mapping on kpartx -d

Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I've observed in livefs build logs that with kpartx 0.5.0-7ubuntu12,
  'kpartx -d' is not removing the loop mapping (losetup -d).  E.g.,
  build log diff:

   + kpartx -v -d binary/boot/disk.ext4
   del devmap : loop0p1
  -loop deleted : /dev/loop0

  This doesn't seem to be causing any immediate practical problems
  because each livefs build gets a dedicated VM which is torn down
  afterwards, so the mappings do not persist.  But it's definitely
  incorrect for these mappings to persist.

  The good build log used kpartx 0.5.0-7ubuntu9.  Testing the
  intermediate versions, 0.5.0-7ubuntu11 shows the same buggy behavior
  as 12.  10 clears the loop mapping, but also appears to fail to
  correctly set up partitions in my test case so I'm not sure if this
  bug is present or not in 0.5.0-7ubuntu10.
