+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/autoclear
+Date: Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ (RO) Shows if the device is in autoclear mode or not ( "1" or
+ "0"). Autoclear (if set) indicates that the loopback device will
+ self-distruct after last close.

+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/backing_file
+Date: Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ (RO) The path of the backing file that the loop device maps its
+ data blocks to.

+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/offset
+Date: Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org

+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/sizelimit
+Date: Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ (RO) The size (in bytes) that the block device maps, starting
+ from the offset.

+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/partscan
+Date: Aug, 2011
+KernelVersion: v3.10
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ (RO) Shows if automatic partition scanning is enabled for the
+ device or not ("1" or "0"). This can be requested individually
+ per loop device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN in
+ in the ioctl request. By default, no partition tables are
+ scanned.
+
+What: /sys/block/loopX/loop/dio
+Date: Aug, 2015
+KernelVersion: v4.10
+Contact: linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+ (RO) Shows if direct IO is being used to access backing file or
+ not ("1 or "0").
