In open_fs_devices() we identify alien device but we don't reset its the device::name. So progs device list does not show the device missing as shown in the script below.

I objected on the patch, but still those patches got merged, this bug is one of its side effects. Ironically I wrote patches to read device_state from the kernel using ioctl, procfs and sysfs but didn't get the due attention till a merger. fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c index 06ec3577c6b4..05ade8c7342b 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c @@ -803,10 +803,10 @@ static int btrfs_open_one_device(struct btrfs_fs_devices *fs_devices, disk_super = (struct btrfs_super_block *)bh->b_data; devid = btrfs_stack_device_id(&disk_super->dev_item); if (devid != device->devid) - goto error_brelse; + goto free_alien; if (memcmp(device->uuid, disk_super->dev_item.uuid, BTRFS_UUID_SIZE)) - goto error_brelse; + goto free_alien; device->generation = btrfs_super_generation(disk_super); @@ -845,6 +845,11 @@ static int btrfs_open_one_device(struct btrfs_fs_devices *fs_devices, return 0; +free_alien: + fs_devices->num_devices--; + list_del(&device->dev_list); + btrfs_free_device(device); + error_brelse: brelse(bh); blkdev_put(bdev, flags); @@ -1329,11 +1334,13 @@ static int open_fs_devices(struct btrfs_fs_devices *fs_devices, fmode_t flags, void *holder) { struct btrfs_device *device; + struct btrfs_device *tmp_device; struct btrfs_device *latest_dev = NULL; flags |= FMODE_EXCL; - list_for_each_entry(device, &fs_devices->devices, dev_list) { + list_for_each_entry_safe(device, tmp_device, &fs_devices->devices, + dev_list) { /* Just open everything we can; ignore failures here */ if (btrfs_open_one_device(fs_devices, device, flags, holder)) continue; -- 1.8.3.1
