When attempting to exclusive open a device which has no exclusive open permission, such as a physical device associated with the flakey dm device, the open operation will fail, resulting in a mount failure. In this particular scenario, we erroneously return -EINVAL instead of the correct error code provided by the bdev_open_by_path() function, which is -EBUSY. Fix this, by returning error code from the bdev_open_by_path() function. With this correction, the mount error message will align with that of ext4 and xfs.

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.
