Comment 28 for bug 1829563

Verification with bionic-proposed of xfstests results.

No regressions introduced by this bcache patchset.

The comparison between -updates and -proposed is not directly possible
because -proposed introduced failures via other components in I/O path
(e.g., block, ext4).

This is described below, and just to make sure, the -proposed kernel
has been rebuilt with the bcache patchset reverted, and test results
are the same (same failures with/without the patchset; no regression).

It's also been confirmed (below) that tests with a raw block device
(sda) instead of bcache device (thus eliminating the bcache code)
shows the new/introduced failures (ext4/035, generic/553, generic/554).

(the output below does look better on a very wide screen. :-)

proposed kernel: 4.15.0-55.62 (with patchset)
