This kind of double-negation will always lead to issues; please invert the meaning and call it 'refill_on_miss'. Cheers, Hannes

The original purpose is to implement a "write-only" or "read-around" like cache. Such kind of cache model is desired for heavy write condition, and disable the read-miss-refill may also help to extend the SSD life time. Naming is a challenge here. Becuase "write-only" is not true while read hitting on dirty data on cache device may successfully return, and "read-around" is also not true due to the same reason. We do need help for people to suggest a proper mode for such cache mode, or cache configuration (if we don't want one more cache mode). Thanks. Coly Li

When read cache miss, backing device will be read first, and then refill the cache device. But under some scenarios there are large number of new reads and rarely hit, so it's necessary to disable the refill when read miss to save space for writes. This patch add a new config called refill_on_miss_disabled which is not set by default. Bcache user can set it by sysfs interface and then the bcache device will not refill when read cache miss.
