Commit 85750aeb748f ("bcache: use bio_{start,end}_io_acct") moves the io account code to the location after bio_set_dev(bio, dc->bdev) in cached_dev_make_request(). Then the account is performed incorrectly on backing device, indeed the I/O should be counted to bcache device like /dev/bcache0. With the mistaken I/O account, iostat does not display I/O counts for bcache device and all the numbers go to backing device. In writeback mode, the hard drive may have 340K+ IOPS which is impossible and wrong for spinning disk. This patch introduces bch_bio_start_io_acct() and bch_bio_end_io_acct(), which switches bio->bi_disk to bcache device before calling bio_start_io_acct() or bio_end_io_acct(). Now the I/Os are counted to bcache device, and bcache device, cache device and backing device have their correct I/O count information back.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
