And before you point out that it looks still ugly, let me explain some reasons. The goal for me would be to have something as small as possible to be acceptable as stable change. And the part about putting a bio on the stack and using submit_bio_wait: I believe you meant in read_super to replace the __bread. I was thinking about that but in the end it seemed to make the change unnecessary big. Whether using __bread or submit_bio_wait, in both cases and without needing to make more changes on the write side, read_super has to return the in-memory and on-disk variant of the superblock. So as long as nothing that is related to __bread is leaked out of read_super, it is much better than what is there now. And I remain as small as possible for the delta. So there is one part of the patch which I find hard to do in a better manner but is a bit ugly: and that is to sanely free the sb_disk_data blob on all error paths but not on success when it is assigned to either cache or cached_dev. Could possibly pass the address of the pointer and then clear it inside the called functions. Not sure that would be much less strange... -Stefan

Subject: [PATCH] bcache: read_super: handle architectures with more than 4k
page size
There is no guarantee that the superblock which __bread returns in
a buffer_head starts at offset 0 when an architecture has bigger
pages than 4k (the used sector size).
This is the attempt to fix this with the minimum amount of change
by having a buffer allocated with kmalloc that holds the superblock
data as it is on disk.
This buffer can then be passed to bch_map_bio which will set up the
bio_vec correctly.
