(looks like there was some sendmail problem I don't see this in the
btrfs list,
sending again. sorry for multiple copies if any).

device_list_add() is called when user runs btrfs dev scan, which would
add
any btrfs device into the btrfs_fs_devices list.

Now think of a mounted btrfs. And a new device which contains the a SB
from the mounted btrfs devices.

In this situation when user runs btrfs dev scan, the current code would
just replace existing device with the new device.

Which is to note that old device is neither closed nor gracefully
removed from the btrfs.

The FS is still operational with the old bdev however the device name
is the btrfs_device is new which is provided by the btrfs dev scan.

reproducer:

devmgt[1] detach /dev/sdc

replace the missing disk /dev/sdc

btrfs rep start -f 1 /dev/sde /btrfs
Label: none  uuid: 5dc0aaf4-4683-4050-b2d6-5ebe5f5cd120
         Total devices 2 FS bytes used 32.00KiB
         devid    1 size 958.94MiB used 115.88MiB path /dev/sde
         devid    2 size 958.94MiB used 103.88MiB path /dev/sdd

make /dev/sdc to reappear

devmgt attach host2

btrfs dev scan

btrfs fi show -m
Label: none  uuid: 5dc0aaf4-4683-4050-b2d6-5ebe5f5cd120^M
         Total devices 2 FS bytes used 32.00KiB^M
devid 1 size 958.94MiB used 115.88MiB path /dev/sdc <- Wrong.
         devid    2 size 958.94MiB used 103.88MiB path /dev/sdd

since /dev/sdc has been replaced with /dev/sde, the /dev/sdc shouldn't be
part of the btrfs-fsid when it reappears. If user want it to be part
of it
then sys admin should be using btrfs device add instead.

The 'if(fs_devices->opened)' block is in both branch of the
'if(!device)' judgement,
it would be better to extract the code block out of the 'if(!device)'
block.

 thanks for the comments Qu.

  we have else if. that is when device is found and path is NOT new
  (matches with the old) then we shall return success.

Anand
Oh, my bad. Forgot the code can continue without hitting either branch.

Thanks,
Qu

Thanks,
