commit 5f58d783fd7823b2c2d5954d1126e702f94bfc4c upstream. We have this check to make sure we don't accidentally add older devices that may have disappeared and re-appeared with an older generation from being added to an fs_devices (such as a replace source device). This makes sense, we don't want stale disks in our file system. However for single disks this doesn't really make sense. I've seen this in testing, but I was provided a reproducer from a project that builds btrfs images on loopback devices. The loopback device gets cached with the new generation, and then if it is re-used to generate a new file system we'll fail to mount it because the new fs is "older" than what we have in cache. Fix this by freeing the cache when closing the device for a single device filesystem. This will ensure that the mount command passed device path is scanned successfully during the next mount.

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.
