Qu,

 Kindly note, device->generation is not updated when user scan the
 device for the first time.

 I have sent out patch:
  [PATCH 2/2] btrfs: check generation as replace duplicates devid+uuid

 Please feel free to add your Signed-off-by, if you think so.

 review comments are appreciated as usual.

Thanks, Anand

Since btrfs currently use dulicated dev uuid when doing device replace,
the following problem will happen:

1) mount with device A missing using degraded mode.
2) replace device A with device B.
3) device A reappears.
4) umount btrfs fs.
5) mount btrfs fs.

After step 5), btrfs will still use device A even device B has a larger
generation.

The patch will judge generation when difference device with same dev
uuid.
And the patch should be applied after Anand's patch:
