SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] drivers/block/loop: Replace deprecated function in option parsing code
From
Date
I have now, on the latest staging master (test log attached, everything 
green), and also learned a lesson about looking more thoroughly for
automated test cases. That's a mea culpa, I suppose. :P

Before this I'd only found the Linux Test Project, which (if I'm not
mistaken) contains tests that use loopback devices but no tests that
specifically test the loopback driver itself. Given the small scope of
the change, we then considered it sufficient to test manually that the
loop device still worked and that the max_loop parameter was handled
correctly. Of course, the blktests way is better.

Thanks for taking the time to answer and review.
