Hi Jens,

Here are 12 patchs for bcache fixes and updates, most of them were posted
by Eric Wheeler in 4.13 merge window, but delayed due to lack of code
review.

The following patches are reviewed or acked by peer developers,
0001-bcache-Fix-leak-of-bdev-reference.patch
0002-bcache-fix-sequential-large-write-IO-bypass.patch
0003-bcache-do-not-subtract-sectors_to_gc-for-bypassed-IO.patch
0004-bcache-Don-t-reinvent-the-wheel-but-use-existing-lli.patch
0005-bcache-gc-does-not-work-when-triggering-by-manual-co.patch
0006-bcache-correct-cache_dirty_target-in-__update_writeb.patch
0007-bcache-Correct-return-value-for-sysfs-attach-errors.patch
0008-bcache-increase-the-number-of-open-buckets.patch
0009-bcache-fix-for-gc-and-write-back-race.patch
0010-bcache-silence-static-checker-warning.patch
0011-bcache-Update-continue_at-documentation.patch
0012-bcache-fix-bch_hprint-crash-and-improve-output.patch
You may consider to pick them up if no other comments come up, especially
0012-bcache-fix-bch_hprint-crash-and-improve-output.patch which fixes a
potential serious security issue as author declears.

I do basic test on the whole patch set, bcache works and behaves as
expected. For futher bcache bug reports, I will follow up them.

There are some other patches which does not pass my test currently,
once they are fixed and reviewed by peer developers I will send them
to you for 4.14 merge window.

Thanks in advance.
