I had been starting to look for bug fix type changes from 3.14 a while
ago. But since we had no details about the problems that were seen on
3.13, and I think I could not reproduce things either, there was no way
of verifying whether those are good to go with. Please have a look at
the kernel at: http://people.canonical.com/~smb/lp1408972/ and let me
know how this works for you.

Title:
  bcache causes task hang with 3.13 kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We're doing some testing of bcache to see how it improves block
  performance in trusty; right now we're hitting a problem where
  processes performing filesystem operations get hung on the default
  3.13 kernel:

   [ 7083.029073] INFO: task qemu-img:96548 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
   [ 7083.035797]       Not tainted 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu
   [ 7083.041325] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

  we don't see the same issue if we switch to the 3.16 hwe kernel.

  Fairly easy to reproduce so can try test kernels - will also try to
  get a bit more debug for you on this one.
