It probably is a duplicate set_capacity, but has anyone tested bringing on 
a writeback volume, and late-attaching the cache volume with this patch 
applied?

Otherwise stated, is it possible to get the backing device attached 
without setting the capacity?

Hi Eric, I tested this case in following steps, the result is fine, the capability is setted.

I want to make sure that the set_capacity call that happens on cache 
attachment is not necessary when a backing device is attached without

Hi Eric, set_capacity() which removed in this patch is happened at cached_dev_init()
which is called when register a backing device, what do you mean "set_capacity call that happens on cache

attachment" ?

its dirty writeback cache since bcache0 is not presented until the cache 
attaches in that case.

I found bcache0 device present once we do make-bcache -B /dev/nvme1n1. before attach the cache set.
So I missed something ?

Can you also unregister the volume, attach the backing device first, and 
then the cache while the cache is dirty to make sure that the size is set 
correctly?

When I unregister the cache device, I found all the dirty data has been flushed to
backing device, so how can I do the test the case as you point ?

Thanks!
Yijing.
