Commit7e027ca4b5("bcache: add stop_when_cache_set_failed option to backing device") adds stop_when_cache_set_failed option and stops bcache device if stop_when_cache_set_failed is auto and there is dirty data on broken cache device. There might exists a small time gap that the cache set is released and set to NULL but bcache device is not released yet (because they are released in parallel). During this time gap, dc->c is NULL so CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE won't be checked, and dc->io_disable is still false, so new coming I/O requests will be accepted and directly go into backing device as no cache set attached to. If there is dirty data on cache device, this behavior may introduce potential inconsistent data. This patch sets dc->io_disable to true before calling bcache_device_stop() to make sure the backing device will reject new coming I/O request as well, so even in the small time gap no I/O will directly go into backing device to corrupt data consistency.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
