@rafael.lopez,

Sorry, hopefully last thing: can you actually back port this to 6.5?  I
should be able to test that on another system....

Title:
  Creating bcache backing device using a Dell Ent NVMe CM6 MU 6.4TB
  storage fails with "cannot allocate memory" error

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  # make-bcache -B /dev/nvme4n1
  UUID:                   569e90b3-cc2a-4a0e-a201-476c426a2141
  Set UUID:               d8d8458a-01df-481e-a7dc-e75843a9608f
  version:                1
  block_size:             1
  data_offset:            16

  kern.log:
  Apr 12 18:21:56 ... kernel: [  723.854659] bcache: register_bdev() error 
nvme4n1: cannot allocate memory
  Apr 12 18:21:56 ... kernel: [  723.854662] bcache: register_bdev_worker() 
error /dev/nvme4n1: fail to register backing device

  Same error message is mentioned in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1909518, but the
  suggested configuration change does not fix the issue:

  # nvme id-ns /dev/nvme4n1 -n 1 -H |grep "LBA Format"
    [3:0] : 0x3   Current LBA Format Selected

  Using a Dell Ent NVMe P5800x WI U.2 400GB storage works as expected:

  # make-bcache -B /dev/nvme2n1

  block_size:             8
  data_offset:            16
