Title:
Bcache bypasse writeback on caching device with fragmentation
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello,
An upstream bug has been opened on the matter for quite some time now [0].
I can reproduce easily on our production compute node instance, which are
trusty host with xenial hwe kernels (4.15.0-101-generic).
However due to heavy backport and such, doing real tracing is a bit hard
there.
I was able to reproduce the behavior on a hwe-bionic kernel as well.
Since most of our critical deployments use bcache, I think this is a kinda
nasty bug to have.
Reproducing the issue is relatively easy with the script provided in the bug
[1].
The script used to capture the stats is this one [2].
