From: Qu Wenruo <quwenruo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5a1972bd9fd4b2fb1bac8b7a0b636d633d8717e3 upstream. Btrfs will send uevent to udev inform the device change, but ctime/mtime for the block device inode is not udpated, which cause libblkid used by btrfs-progs unable to detect device change and use old cache, causing 'btrfs dev scan; btrfs dev rmove; btrfs dev scan' give an error message.
