Hi Jens, Here are the first wave bcache patches for linux v4.18, not too much changes. - Andy Shevchenko contributes several clean up patches for bcache. - A reviewed patch from me, about the bcache device failure improvement series. There are still some patches waiting for peer review. Once they get reviewed and it is still in good timing, I will submit them in next waves. Thanks in advance.
