Hi,

This series fixes the error path for adding the first writable device to a
seed filesystem.

I verified the failure path locally in QEMU with null_blk and a seed btrfs
filesystem:

- create btrfs on /dev/nullb0
- set the seed flag with btrfstune -S 1
- mount the filesystem read-only
- run "btrfs device add -f /dev/nullb1 /mnt"
- inject -EIO after metadata chunk creation in init_first_rw_device()

Before these fixes, the injected failure triggered:

- WARN_ON(!list_empty(&device->post_commit_list)) in btrfs_free_device()
- a NULL pointer dereference through btrfs_show_devname()
- the sprout fs_devices state left with no open devices

Without the injected failure, the same device-add path succeeds.

Guanghui Yang (3):
  btrfs: detach failed sprout device from transaction update list
  btrfs: restore active device pointers after failed sprout
  btrfs: roll back sprout setup after device add failure

This v2 keeps the code changes unchanged and adds the local reproduction
result to the cover letter.

Missing AI disclosure?
