There is a race condition in detaching as below: A. detaching B. Write request (1) writing back (2) write back done, set bdev state to clean. (3) cached_dev_put() and schedule_work(&dc->detach); (4) write data [0 - 4K] directly into backing and ack to user. (5) power-failure... When we restart this bcache device, this bdev is clean but not detached, and read [0 - 4K], we will get unexpected old data from cache device. To fix this problem, set the bdev state to none when we writeback done in detaching, and then if power-failure happend as above, the data in cache will not be used in next bcache device starting, it's detached, we will read the correct data from backing derectly.
