From: Lin Feng <linf@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 0259d4498ba4 ("bcache: move calc_cached_dev_sectors to proper place on backing device detach") tries to fix calc_cached_dev_sectors when bcache device detaches, but now we have: cached_dev_detach_finish ... bcache_device_detach(&dc->disk); ... closure_put(&d->c->caching); d->c = NULL; [*explicitly set dc->disk.c to NULL*] list_move(&dc->list, &uncached_devices); calc_cached_dev_sectors(dc->disk.c); [*passing a NULL pointer*] ... Upper codeflows shows how bug happens, this patch fix the problem by caching dc->disk.c beforehand, and cache_set won't be freed under us because c->caching closure at least holds a reference count and closure callback __cache_set_unregister only being called by bch_cache_set_stop which using closure_queue(&c->caching), that means c->caching closure callback for destroying cache_set won't be trigger by previous closure_put(&d->c->caching). So at this stage(while cached_dev_detach_finish is calling) it's safe to access cache_set dc->disk.c.
