If BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET is set in incompat feature set, it means the cache device is created with obsoleted layout with obso_bucket_site_hi. Now bcache does not support this feature bit, a new BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE incompat feature bit is added for a better layout to support large bucket size. For the legacy compatibility purpose, if a cache device created with obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit, all bcache devices attached to this cache set should be set to read-only. Then the dirty data can be written back to backing device before re-create the cache device with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE feature bit by the latest bcache-tools. This patch checks BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit when running a cache set and attach a bcache device to the cache set. If this bit is set, - When run a cache set, print an error kernel message to indicate all following attached bcache device will be read-only. - When attach a bcache device, print an error kernel message to indicate the attached bcache device will be read-only, and ask users to update to latest bcache-tools. Such change is only for cache device whose bucket size >= 32MB, this is for the zoned SSD and almost nobody uses such large bucket size at this moment. If you don't explicit set a large bucket size for a zoned SSD, such change is totally transparent to your bcache device.
