Title: bcache_writebac blocks and goes silent on trusty kernel 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “linux” source package in Utopic: Fix Released Bug description: We regularly use bcache to use SSDs as an extra block cache layer for performance on large working sets (archive mirrors, large databases, etc). Until now we have had good success with bcache on precise LTS with HWE kernels up to Saucy's. Unfortunately when we mount a bcache-backed volume on a Trusty server, it immediately loses contact with bcache_writebac: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 501 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bcache_writebac kern.log shows it losing its mind pretty much immediately on startup: Aug 12 02:22:15 somehostname kernel: [ 6483.477618] md: bind<sdc> Aug 12 02:22:15 somehostname kernel: [ 6483.478599] md: bind<sdd> Aug 12 02:22:15 somehostname kernel: [ 6483.482016] md/raid0:md0: md_size is 781443072 sectors.
