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.

BTW, I noticed "btrfs device scan/ready" fails for mounted filesystem
because of this reason.
 Oh yes I can reproduce too using [1], very consistently.

(Though I believe this is not the cause of the problem you mentioned.)



Thanks,

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.

David,

 Sorry I was wrong. Looks like I have booted wrong kernel to test.
 So I see the same problem even you have reverted the patch:
   'btrfs: optimize move uuid_mutex closer to the critical section'
 in [1].


Quite strange, there isn't any
   concurrency (mount and scan) in this test case.

 Now this strangeness is explained.

   [1]
     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux.git for-next

   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 ?

 Anything on this ? I can take a look.

Thanks, Anand

Thanks, Anand
