bcache and btrfs linux 4.7

bcache and btrfs linux 4.7

[Vasiliy Tolstov]

Hi! I'm use bcache long time ago from 3.10 kernel and it works fine for me.
Now i'm use fedora and want to try btrfs with bcache. Does it work?
Does bcache have development or Kent switched to bcachefs ?

(I need btrfs because want to use incremental backups and want snapshots)

Kent is busy on bcachefs, currently bcache is in table status. If you
find any bug during your usage, please raise your voice here.

IMHO, I suggest to use 4.8 kernel, if that's possible in your situation.

General use stability patches go back to at least v4.1.  There is an OOM 
blkdev_put that missed 4.7, but you shouldn't hit that unless you OOM at 
registration time.
