Description of problem:
My Bcache depends on if I have many Copy files.

First, cp copies the files very quickly then to be getting slower,
that goes to halt!

I give in another console "sync", the command did not returns.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bcache-tools-0-0.14.20130909git.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
doing the test: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_bcache-tools_home_on_bcache_(no_LVM)
then try to copy a lot of files

Bug present in the kernel bcache realisation.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2049

but in 3.11.4 patch was applied:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/md/bcache/request.c?id=c0f04d88e46d14de51f4baebb6efafb7d59e9f96

Rolf or I will send message to upstream bcache mailing list.
Comment 3 Igor Gnatenko 2013-10-13 21:32:54 UTC 
Pinged upstream: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2128

probably fix: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2113

Will build kernel w/ patch.
