Re: "Btrfs: device_list_add() should not update list when mounted" breaks subvol mount

[Anand Jain <Anand.Jain@oracle.com>]

Hi Xavier,

  Thanks for the report.

  I got this reproduced: its a very corner case, it depends on the
  device path given in the subsequent subvol mounts, the fix appear
  to be outside of this patch at this moment and I am digging to know
  if we need to normalize the device path before using it in the btrfs
  kernel, just like btrfs-progs did recently.


  reproducer:
  ls -l /root/dev/sde-link
    /root/dev/sde-link -> /dev/sde

  mount -o device=/root/dev/sde-link /dev/sdd /btrfs1
  btrfs fi show
  Label: none  uuid: 943bf422-998c-4640-9d7f-d49f17b782ce
	Total devices 2 FS bytes used 272.00KiB
	devid    1 size 1.52GiB used 339.50MiB path /dev/sdd
	devid    2 size 1.52GiB used 319.50MiB path /root/dev/sde-link

  mount -o subvol=sv1,device=/dev/sde /dev/sdd /btrfs  <-shouldn't fail.
   mount: /dev/sdd already mounted or /btrfs busy
   mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd is mounted on /btrfs1

  mount -o device=/root/dev/sde-link /dev/sdd /btrfs
   echo $?
   0


Xavier, Johannes,

     The quickest workaround for you will be to try to match
  the device path as in the btrfs fi show -m </mnt> output to
  your probably fstab/mnttab entry.
