Hi Jens, I receive bug reports from partners for the bcache cache device failure handling patch set (which is just merged into 4.17-rc1). Fortunately we are still in 4.17 merge window, I suggest to have these fixes to go into 4.17 merge window too. The patches are well commented IMHO and pass my own regression tests. Fortunately Hannes offers code reveiw to all the patches and offers his Reviewed-by. Thanks for your help in advance. Changlog: v4: Add reviewed-by from Hannnes Reinecke. v3: Remove an extra "Fixes:" line from patch "bcache: use pr_info() to inform duplicated CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE set", and move part of its content into patch "bcache: set CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE in bch_cached_dev_error()". v2: With more fixes from v1 patch set. v1: First version for review.
