From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fecaee6f20ee122ad75402c53d8278f9bb142ddc upstream.

This bug can be reproduced by the following script:

#!/bin/bash

bcache_sysfs="/sys/fs/bcache"

function clear_cache()
{
if [ ! -e $bcache_sysfs ]; then
echo "no bcache sysfs"
exit
fi

cset_uuid=$(ls -l $bcache_sysfs|head -n 2|tail -n 1|awk '{print $9}')
sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/detach"
sleep 5
sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/attach"
}

for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do
clear_cache
done

The warning messages look like below:

We forget to clear BCACHE_DEV_UNLINK_DONE flag in bcache_device_attach()
function when we attach a backing device first time. After detaching this
backing device, this flag will be true and sysfs_remove_link() isn't called in
bcache_device_unlink(). Then when we attach this backing device again,
sysfs_create_link() will return EEXIST error in bcache_device_link().

So the fix is trival and we clear this flag in bcache_device_link().
