I missed this line of work until now. Not quite sure why I wasn't cc'd or my review/ack required for the DM changes in this patchset. But I've now queued this patch for once Linus gets back (reverts DM changes from commit 47e0fb461f): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c9fdc42ba23eabd1ba7aef199fb9bb4b4fe5c545 As is, it is my understanding that DM has no need for a bio_set's rescue_workqueue. So its removal would appear to only be gated by bcache? But I could be mistaken, moving forward please let me know what you feel needs doing in DM to make it a better citizen. Thanks, Mike
