Hey Greg!

The patch below does not apply to the 4.16-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
The v1 version applied for me but it shows a compiler warning. I didn't try the newer version yet.
I could prepare a back-ported version.
Regards, Kai

From 1c1a2ee1b53b006754073eefc65d2b2cedb5264b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Coly Li colyli@suse.de Date: Thu, 17 May 2018 23:33:26 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bcache: return 0 from bch_debug_init() if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n
Commit 539d39eb2708 ("bcache: fix wrong return value in bch_debug_init()") returns the return value of debugfs_create_dir() to bcache_init(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, bch_debug_init() always returns 1 and makes bcache_init() failedi.
This patch makes bch_debug_init() always returns 0 if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, so bcache can continue to work for the kernels which don't have debugfs enanbled.
Changelog: v4: Add Acked-by from Kent Overstreet. v3: Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) to replace #ifdef DEBUG_FS. v2: Remove a warning information v1: Initial version.
