If BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET is set in incompat feature
set, it means the cache device is created with obsoleted layout with
obso_bucket_site_hi. Now bcache does not support this feature bit, a new
BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE incompat feature bit is added
for a better layout to support large bucket size.
For the legacy compatibility purpose, if a cache device created with
obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit, all bcache
devices attached to this cache set should be set to read-only. Then the
dirty data can be written back to backing device before re-create the
cache device with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE feature bit
by the latest bcache-tools.
This patch checks BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET feature bit
when running a cache set and attach a bcache device to the cache set. If
this bit is set,
- When run a cache set, print an error kernel message to indicate all
following attached bcache device will be read-only.
- When attach a bcache device, print an error kernel message to indicate
the attached bcache device will be read-only, and ask users to update
to latest bcache-tools.
Such change is only for cache device whose bucket size >= 32MB, this is
for the zoned SSD and almost nobody uses such large bucket size at this
moment. If you don't explicit set a large bucket size for a zoned SSD,
such change is totally transparent to your bcache device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
