btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() has two callers - btrfs_open_one_device(), which asks for open to be exclusive and btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(), which doesn't. Currently it does set_blocksize() in all cases. I'm rather dubious about the need to do set_blocksize() anywhere in btrfs, to be honest - there's some access to page cache of underlying block devices in there, but it's nowhere near the hot paths, AFAICT. In any case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path() only needs to read the on-disk superblock and copy several fields out of it; all callers are only interested in devices that are already opened and brought into per-filesystem set, so setting the block size is redundant for those and actively harmful if we are given a pathname of unrelated device. So we only need btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() to call set_blocksize() when it's asked to open exclusive.

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 reStructuredText 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.
