From 0c8d3fceade2ab1bbac68bca013e62bfdb851d19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Coly Li Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 12:01:55 +0800 Subject: bcache: configure the asynchronous registertion to be experimental In order to avoid the experimental async registration interface to be treated as new kernel ABI for common users, this patch makes it as an experimental kernel configure BCACHE_ASYNC_REGISTRAION. This interface is for extreme large cached data situation, to make sure the bcache device can always created without the udev timeout issue. For normal users the async or sync registration does not make difference. In future when we decide to use the asynchronous registration as default behavior, this experimental interface may be removed.
