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.
Please switch to use disk_{start,end}_io_acct instead of hacking around with bi_disk assignments.
