Just a minor update.

The existing check is considering device->bdev always exists, but we can 
have missing devices which doesn't have device->bdev, and this will 
cause NULL pointer dereference during test cases like btrfs/027.

Fixed in for-next branch with the following small diff:

diff --git a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c
index 8d36e8a9f0d9..93a923e4ecaf 100644

                 struct request_queue *queue;
                 unsigned int io_opt;

+               if (!device->bdev || test_bit(BTRFS_DEV_STATE_MISSING, 
&device->dev_state))

                 queue = bdev_get_queue(device->bdev);
                 io_opt = queue_io_opt(queue) ? :
                                 queue_max_sectors(queue) << SECTOR_SHIFT;

Thanks,
