Hi,
After operating the /dev/loop which losetup with an image placed in tmpfs,
I got the following ERROR messages:

I have found the commit which introduce this issue by git bisect :
commit :efcfec57[loop: fix no-unmap write-zeroes request behavior]
Kernrel version: Linux version 5.6.0
Frequency: every time
steps to reproduce:
1.git clone mainline kernel
2.compile kernel with ARCH=x86_64, and then boot the system with it
(seems other arch also can reproduce it )
3.make an image by "dd of=/tmp/image if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256"
4.place the image in tmpfs directory
5.losetup /dev/loop6 /PATH/image
6.mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop6
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yanfei
