When I try to mount loop device in a linux container, I got the

error message:
mount: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know
about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)
I wonder how to enable mount loop device in LXC using libvirt LXC driver?
You don't want to try to setup loop mounts yourself - tell libvirt todo
it in the XML eg
<filesystem type='file'>
<source file='/some/file/image'/>
<target dir='/some/mount/point'/>
</filesystem>
and then libvirt will create a loop device and mount it. If you just want
the loop device and not mounted, then use <block type='file'> instead.
