So, the check is not relevant, why to do so? The UNSAFE skip the check.

fs_dev_start() is called by the alarm thread too to restart a removed device(marked by remove flag), so it should not condition the remove flag.

Isn't it done by dev_close()?

No need , you right, all the queue operation should be safe too.

SW counters may success, this function deals with removal case.

No need the check, so why?

Also here, I think the check is unnecessary, so using UNSAFE skip it.
