Did a little poking today,  btrfs_getattr has a line like:

static int btrfs_getattr(struct vfsmount *mnt,
                         struct dentry *dentry, struct kstat *stat)
{
        struct inode *inode = dentry->d_inode;
        generic_fillattr(inode, stat);
        stat->dev = BTRFS_I(inode)->root->anon_super.s_dev;

So btrfs (unlike every other fs in kernel) sets the dev themselves rather than
using the dev from generic_fillattr.

I'm guessing (but haven't verified) that this is the reason the ->dev found
when poking the block device is different than the dev btrfs is reporting and
thus the rejection...

I just ask an upstream btrfs maintainer why they do this....
