Misono,

   This change is causing subsequent (subvol) mount to fail when device
   option is specified. The simplest eg for failure is ..
     mkfs.btrfs -qf /dev/sdc /dev/sdb
     mount -o device=/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /btrfs
     mount -o device=/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /btrfs1
        mount: /dev/sdc is already mounted or /btrfs1 busy

    Looks like
      blkdev_get_by_path() <-- is failing.
      btrfs_scan_one_device()
      btrfs_parse_early_options()
      btrfs_mount()

   Which is due to different holders (viz. btrfs_root_fs_type and
   btrfs_fs_type) one is used for vfs_mount and other for scan,
   so they form different holders and can't let EXCL open which
   is needed for both scan and open.

This looks close to what I see in the random test failures. I've
reverted your patch "btrfs: optimize move uuid_mutex closer to the
critical section" as I bisected to it. The uuid mutex around
blkdev_get_path probably protected the concurrent mount and scan so they
did not ask for EXCL at the same time.

Reverting (or removing the patch from the current misc-next) queue is
simpler for me ATM as I want to get to a stable base now, we can add it
later if we understand the issue with the mount/scan.

 Right. I don't see above test case failing on your branch [1] which
 does not have the uuid_mutex patch. Quite strange, there isn't any
 concurrency (mount and scan) in this test case.

 Ran xfstests, got stuck at btrfs/011 failures, (and will wait for
 Liubo's v2 patch). OR is there any other test case you were referring
 to as random test failures ?

Thanks, Anand
