+Subject: [PATCH] dm cache: dirty flag was mistakenly being cleared when
+ promoting via overwrite
+
+If the incoming bio is a WRITE and completely covers a block then we
+don't bother to do any copying for a promotion operation.  Once this is
+done the cache block and origin block will be different, so we need to
+set it to 'dirty'.

+Subject: [PATCH] dm cache: fix spurious cell_defer when dealing with partial
+ block at end of device
+
+We never bother caching a partial block that is at the back end of the
+origin device.  No cell ever gets locked, but the calling code was
+assuming it was and trying to release it.
+
+Now the code only releases if the cell has been set to a non NULL
+value.

+Overwrite causes the cache block and origin blocks to diverge, which
