commit f2c3bec215 upstream.
If the replace target device reappears after the suspended replace is
cancelled, it blocks the mount operation as it can't find the matching
replace-item in the metadata. As shown below,
BTRFS error (device sda5): replace devid present without an active replace item
To overcome this situation, the user can run the command
btrfs device scan --forget <replace target device>
and try the mount command again. And also, to avoid repeating the issue,
superblock on the devid=0 must be wiped.
wipefs -a device-path-to-devid=0.
This patch adds some info when this situation occurs.

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.
