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.

I agree we don't allow to update device list when mounted, i tested this
patch, it worked but
Thanks for testing this patch set.
it will output the following message:
Scanning for Btrfs filesystems in '/dev/sdc'
ERROR: unable to scan the device '/dev/sdc' - Device or resource busy
I think this is a little confusing for common users. Maybe don't return
error but output
some log message into kernel buffer, better?
the Other choices are:
display the error only when specific device is used
by the user like 'btrfs dev scan /dev/sdc' And don't print busy /
invalid error when a system wide scan is used like 'btrfs dev scan'.
To achieve this we have to tweak btrfs-progs.
or put the error under the verbose option in the btrfs-progs.
Thanks,
Wang
