Hi Stefan,
In code path of closure_wake_up(), I remember there are two patches in
last run,
- commit a5f3d8a5eaaf ("bcache: use llist_for_each_entry_safe() in
__closure_wake_up()")
- commit 09b3efec81de ("bcache: Don't reinvent the wheel but use
existing llist API")
Can you check whether you have all of these patches ? Or can we try to
revoke these two patches and see whether oops still happens.
Thanks.
