[opensuse-kernel] command "losetup -P" fails on 15.2

Hello, the kernel of 15.2 has a bug that make fail the command losetup -P Such command was working in 15.1 and the problem has been fixed in the latest kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=l... A backport of such commit for 15.2 is advisable. More details here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173239 I'm reporting on the list too in the hope that the kernel with the fix does not take months before it is released.

It's not likely to take months. A kernel package with the fix is already in Kernel:openSUSE-15.2 OBS project and x86_64 KotD packages at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-15.2/standard/ are published (other architectures will take a bit more time). I plan to submit a 15.2 maintenance update tomorrow or on Monday. I cannot predict how long it will take before it gets to the update repository but a week or two seems to be a reasonable estimate.
