Hi Gui,

This strikes me as not not right because errno is only documented as
being set when open() returns -1 on failure.  In the success case
errno is not set so you can't assume it will be 0.

I think the following might work:
1) Initilase ret = 0 at the start of btrfs_scan_block_devices()
2) In the open(fullpath, O_RDONLY) failure case set ret = fd
3) return ret

Thanks,
Mike
