If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------
commit bc178622d40d87e75abc131007342429c9b03351 upstream.
Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me:
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2
...
unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy
because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it.
Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a
blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over from the unmount
path:
btrfs_close_devices
__btrfs_close_devices
call_rcu(&device->rcu, free_device);
free_device
INIT_WORK(&device->rcu_work, __free_device);
schedule_work(&device->rcu_work);
so unmount might complete before __free_device fires & does its blkdev_put.
Adding an rcu_barrier() to btrfs_close_devices() causes unmount to wait
until all blkdev_put()s are done, and the device is truly free once
unmount completes.
