Title:
  Using bcache for / leads to hung processes

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've used maas 1.9.1 to setup a bcache partition mount as /. The
  bcache is made of a 400GB SSD backed by sda-part2. The sda drive is a
  1TB disk with 1GB carved out for /boot (sda-part1) and the rest given
  to sda-part2. I believe the bcache mode is set to write-through.

  Within an hour of this machine being deployed (it's being used as a
  node in a landscape autopilot openstack deployment) it starts showing
  hung processes. The output of 'ps faxw' (attached as 'amco-process-
  list.txt) shows lots of process in the 'D' state and launching more
  processes that write to the disk will likely get stuck (for example
  the 'apt-get install python-jenkins' process).

  This is reproducible.
