Hi Jens,

I know you're busy, so when you get a moment:

I've not yet seen your ack/nack on this yet and I want to make sure it 
gets in before the merge window closes for v4.10.  I rebased it on 
for-4.10/block as you asked so its tested and ready to go as of 12/6 
unless you see something that I've missed.

Pulled for 4.10, sorry about the delay.

Hi Jens,

Looking at 4.10-rc6, I see these two commits were merged:

quoted

      bcache: partition support: add 16 minors per bcacheN device
      bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()

but these were in the same 'for-4.10-block-bcache-updates' and don't
appear to have been applied:

quoted

      bcache: introduce per-process ioprio-based bypass/writeback hints
      bcache: documentation for ioprio cache hinting
      bcache: update bio->bi_opf bypass/writeback REQ_ flag hints

Did I miss an email that caused their exclusion?

Did these get bumped to 4.11 for some reason?

I thought I sent out that reply, maybe I didn't. I dropped the
last three for two reasons:

1) They happened after the merge window, and it's really a feature
   addon that should have gone in earlier

  
Onto 4.11 then.   Hopefully this is early enough :)

2) There seemed to be confusion and discussion around the interface
   that needed to be resolved first.

None that I'm aware of.  This is a bcache-only feature and doesn't affect 
non-bcache users. In fact, people are using it as a patch with good 
results since they can control their erase-block churn.  Kent Overstreet 
acked it, too.

Can you pull this for 4.11?

Thank you for your help!

Hope that explains it.
