When setting bcache parameters via sysfs, there are some variables are defined as bit-field value. Current bcache code in sysfs.c uses either d_strtoul() or sysfs_strtoul() to convert the input string to unsigned integer value and set it to the corresponded bit-field value. The problem is, the bit-field value only takes the lowest bit of the converted value. If input is 2, the expected value (like bool value) of the bit-field value should be 1, but indeed it is 0. The following sysfs files for bit-field variables have such problem, bypass_torture_test, for dc->bypass_torture_test writeback_metadata, for dc->writeback_metadata writeback_running, for dc->writeback_running verify, for c->verify key_merging_disabled, for c->key_merging_disabled gc_always_rewrite, for c->gc_always_rewrite btree_shrinker_disabled,for c->shrinker_disabled copy_gc_enabled, for c->copy_gc_enabled This patch uses sysfs_strtoul_bool() to set such bit-field variables, then if the converted value is non-zero, the bit-field variables will be set to 1, like setting a bool value like expensive_debug_checks.

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.
