Hi Kent, hope your week is going well.

Bcache: a block layer SSD cache

This latest branch is on top of v3.8-rc3:
Glad to see the push to get bcache mainlined. I've been meaning to send you an e-mail on this but the holiday managed to push work back on almost everything.... :-)
We have been working to get ready to take bcache into testing as a component in our storage virtualization servers. We are currently basing our systems on the longterm 3.4 kernel.
Off the top of your head are there any mainline kernel dependency issues which would preclude working a patch up against 3.4? If not I will putz around with GIT a bit and see if I can get a patch worked up against 3.4 and post it on an FTP server as it seems to be easier for people to grab that for testing.
If we can get that done I will put it into an environment where we can drive a few hundred terrabytes of multi-initiator I/O against it and see if anything shakes out.
Thanks again for all your effort on this.
Have a good week.

Did you? It took a guy (Thomas Nicely) with a Ph.D. doing heavy research in computational number theory to find it, yet you found it while working on a game in QuickBasic?"
