This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: return accurate error code on open failure in open_fs_devices() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-return-accurate-error-code-on-open-failure-in-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d3fb1fdadb6a95bf3a07c0dc8efd26d548628aa5 Author: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 19 08:28:18 2024 +0530 btrfs: return accurate error code on open failure in open_fs_devices() [ Upstream commit 2f1aeab9fca1a5f583be1add175d1ee95c213cfa ] When attempting to exclusive open a device which has no exclusive open permission, such as a physical device associated with the flakey dm device, the open operation will fail, resulting in a mount failure. In this particular scenario, we erroneously return -EINVAL instead of the correct error code provided by the bdev_open_by_path() function, which is -EBUSY. Fix this, by returning error code from the bdev_open_by_path() function. With this correction, the mount error message will align with that of ext4 and xfs.
