Hi!
Fixes: bc082a55d25c ("bcache: fix inaccurate io state for detached

Before the patch, it would oops in "ddip->d = d;". With the patch, you do some kind of error handling. Even if it is buggy, it should not do more harm than immediate oops.
I just receive this single email and don’t have any idea for the context and what the problem is. Where can I see the whole conversation?
Discussion happened on stable@vger.kernel.org mailing lists, archives should be easily available. Copy went to lkml, too.
