Hi Greg,
I will post a rebased patch for the 5.2-stable tree.
Is it really needed?
I ask because in the patch it says:
This bug was introduced in Linux v5.2, so this fix only applies to Linux v5.2 is enough for stable tree maintainer.
Fixes: 89e0341af082 ("bcache: use sysfs_match_string() instead of __sysfs_match_string()")
But commit 89e0341af082 showed up in 5.3-rc1, not 5.2.
So why is this needed in 5.2.y?
thanks,
greg k-h
