[patch][xfstests-dev] 078: xfs_repair should be run against the losetup'd device, not the image file

[Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When running test 078 against a 4k logical block sized disk, it fails in
xfs_repair.  The problem is that xfs_repair is passed the loopback
filename instead of the actual loop device.  This means that it opens
the file O_DIRECT, and tries to do 512 byte aligned I/O to a 4k sector
device.  The loop device, for better or for worse, will do buffered I/O,
and thus does not suffer from the same problem.  So, the attached patch
sets up the loop device and passes that to xfs_repair.  This resolves
the issue on my test system.

Comments are more than welcome.
