__update_write_rate() uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control writeback rate. A dirty target number is used in this PD controller to control writeback rate. A larger target number will make the writeback rate smaller, on the versus, a smaller target number will make the writeback rate larger. bcache uses the following steps to calculate the target number, 1) cache_sectors = all-buckets-of-cache-set * buckets-size 2) cache_dirty_target = cache_sectors * cached-device-writeback_percent 3) target = cache_dirty_target * (sectors-of-cached-device/sectors-of-all-cached-devices-of-this-cache-set) The calculation at step 1) for cache_sectors is incorrect, which does not consider dirty blocks occupied by flash only volume. A flash only volume can be took as a bcache device without cached device. All data sectors allocated for it are persistent on cache device and marked dirty, they are not touched by bcache writeback and garbage collection code. So data blocks of flash only volume should be ignore when calculating cache_sectors of cache set. Current code does not subtract dirty sectors of flash only volume, which results a larger target number from the above 3 steps. And in sequence the cache device's writeback rate is smaller then a correct value, writeback speed is slower on all cached devices. This patch fixes the incorrect slower writeback rate by subtracting dirty sectors of flash only volumes in __update_writeback_rate().
