Hi---

Previously sent to stable was this patch, and it's made it into Linus's tree for 4.16. It's a rather urgent data corruption issue that affects at minimum bcache but possibly other block subsystems. Several users have lost data. The issue was introduced in the 4.15 branch by 74d46992e0d9 ("block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index").

I'd really appreciate anything that can be done to get this into a stable 4.15 release soon.

Now queued up, thanks for letting me know. Normally I wait until a patch hits a public -rc release before adding it to a stable kernel release, but if you ever want it ot get there sooner, always feel free to just email stable@vger with this info and I will try to queue it up sooner.

thanks,
