I see you want to get ride of the noise of flash only cache device for
writeback rate calculation. It makes sense, because flash only cache
device won't have write back happen at all.

See flash_dev_run(), the flash volume is created per struct
bcache_device of a cache set. That means, all data allocated for the
flash volume will be from a flash only bcache device. Regular dirty data
won't mixed allocating with flash volume dirty data on identical struct
bcache device.

Based on the above implementation, non-dirty space from flash only
bcache device will mislead writeback rate calculation too. So I suggest
to subtract all buckets size from all flash only bcache devices. Then it
might be something like,

uint64_t cache_sectors = c->nbuckets * c->sb.bucket_size -
			bcache_flash_devs_nbuckets(c);



Just FYI. Thanks.
