bcache_device_detach will release the cache_set after hotunplug cache disk. Here is how the issue happens. 1) cached_dev_free do cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork without bch_register_lock. 2) Wirting the writeback_percent by sysfs with bch_register_lock will insert a writeback_rate_update work. 3) cached_dev_free with bch_register_lock to do bcache_device_free. dc->disk.c will be set NULL. 4) update_writeback_rate will crash when access dc->disk.c. After Patch: 1) cached_dev_free do cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork and set dc->disk.c to NULL with bch_register_lock. 2) dc->disk.c = NULL will avoid that Wirting the writeback_percent by sysfs insert a writeback_rate_update work.
