Boris managed to create a device capable of changing its maj:min without
altering its device path.
Only multi-devices can be scanned. A device that gets scanned and remains
in the btrfs kernel cache might end up with an incorrect maj:min.
Despite the temp-fsid feature patch did not introduce this bug, it could
lead to issues if the above multi-device is converted to a single device
with a stale maj:min. Subsequently, attempting to mount the same device
with the correct maj:min might mistake it for another device with the same
fsid, potentially resulting in wrongly auto-enabling the temp-fsid feature.
To address this, this patch validates the device's maj:min at the time of
device open and updates it if it has changed since the last scan.

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 Restructured Text 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.
