Add another comment. The key of commit 2938b4dcc & 6b0d969b is function _invalidate_fd(). But from my analysis, it looks your codes do not fix this issue. _invalidate_fd calls bcache_invalidate_fd & bcache_abort_fd. bcache_invalidate_fd work as before, only return true or false to indicate there is or isn't fd in cache->errored. Then bcache_abort_fd calls _abort_v, _abort_v calls _unlink_block & _free_block. These two functions only delist block from currently cache->errored & cache->free list. The data still in radix tree with flags BF_DIRTY. So when next lvm reuses closed error fd, and calls _lookup_or_read_block (with legacy fd), the data will reuse again. The bug will be trigger.
