From: Anand Jain <anand.j...@oracle.com> 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.
