Hello,
I notice over the past 18 months there have been a number of patches
posted to this mailing list to resolve known issues with bcache.
I cant see that these have been merged into the main bcache git at
http://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git, is this actually the
case or am I mistaken?
Will these patches ever be seen in mainline ?
Thanks,
Andrew

Backports of critical bug fixes not being done was brought to attention
of Greg KH in September 2014, where Jens and myself mentioned that
bcache stable patches (data corruption, stability, etc.) were not being
backported to the Linux stable branches. The response from the author of
bcache was "This kind of unnecessary hostility is why I don't bother
with stable much anymore. I get enough of this bullshit at work, thank you."
Unfortunately, the situation hasn't cahnged. bcache still will eat your
data under certain use cases, and there is no warning and bcache still
doesn't have a testing/experimental flag set on it. I guess the ultimate
answer was "backport and submit a pull request yourself" but I'm not
sure this is appropriate.

Sometimes ago i'm using bcache, but i'm lucky and dont loose my data=)
But now i'm prefer to check lvm cache status and wait for stabilization.

If Kent won't do it (for whatever reasons), anyone can propose the patches for
backporting to the various stable kernels.
This is a seperate problem than the "patches posted to this list don't get
into mainline at all" issue.
