[PROBLEM] It is very common for udev to trigger device scan, and every time a mounted btrfs device got re-scan from different soft links, we will get some of unnecessary device path updates, this is especially common for LVM based storage: # lvs scratch1 test -wi-ao---- 10.00g scratch2 test -wi-a----- 10.00g scratch3 test -wi-a----- 10.00g scratch4 test -wi-a----- 10.00g scratch5 test -wi-a----- 10.00g test test -wi-a----- 10.00g # mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/test/scratch1 # mount /dev/test/scratch1 /mnt/btrfs # dmesg -c [ 205.705234] BTRFS: device fsid 7be2602f-9e35-4ecf-a6ff-9e91d2c182c9 devid 1 transid 6 /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 (253:4) scanned by mount (1154) [ 205.710864] BTRFS info (device dm-4): first mount of filesystem 7be2602f-9e35-4ecf-a6ff-9e91d2c182c9 [ 205.711923] BTRFS info (device dm-4): using crc32c (crc32c-intel) checksum algorithm [ 205.713856] BTRFS info (device dm-4): using free-space-tree [ 205.722324] BTRFS info (device dm-4): checking UUID tree So far so good, but even if we just touched any soft link of "dm-4", we will get quite some unnecessary device path updates. # touch /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 # dmesg -c [ 469.295796] BTRFS info: devid 1 device path /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 changed to /dev/dm-4 scanned by (udev-worker) (1221) [ 469.300494] BTRFS info: devid 1 device path /dev/dm-4 changed to /dev/mapper/test-scratch1 scanned by (udev-worker) (1221) Such device path rename is unnecessary and can lead to random path change due to the udev race. [CAUSE] Inside device_list_add(), we are using a very primitive way checking if the device has changed, strcmp(). Which can never handle links well, no matter if it's hard or soft links. So every different link of the same device will be treated as a different device, causing the unnecessary device path update. [FIX] Introduce a helper, is_same_device(), and use path_equal() to properly detect the same block device. So that the different soft links won't trigger the rename race.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
