环回设备是一种特殊的块设备，它允许你将一个普通的文件当作块设备来使用。这种功能在需要将文件系统挂载到一个文件上时特别有用，比如在处理磁盘镜像文件时。
内核驱动：drivers/block/loop.c。 在内核驱动初始化时会自动创建一定数量的loop设备，上层在通过/dev/loop-control节点ioctrl LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE时，如果没有设备会自动创建。
在ramdisk init阶段需要创建/dev/loop-control和/dev/block/loop0-3节点，并绑定内核环回设备：

mknod(const char *pathname, mode_t mode, dev_t dev)是一个系统调用，用于创建一个文件系统节点（文件、设备特殊文件或命名管道）。 -
参数解释：
"/dev/block/loop0"：这是要创建的设备文件的路径。S_IFBLK | 0755：这是文件的模式。S_IFBLK表示创建的是一个块设备，0755是文件的权限（所有者可读、写、执行，其他用户可读和执行）。makedev(7, 0)：这是设备号，makedev函数用于生成设备号，7是主设备号，0是次设备号。对于环回设备，主设备号通常是 7。 主从设备号需要从机器里面通过ls -la /dev/block/loop*查看，不同的内核版本可能不一样
