This patch looks mostly good to me but I have one concern: You track
statistics in a fixed 134ms window, stats get cleared at the beginning of
each window. Now this can interact with the writeback window and latency
settings which are dynamic and settable from userspace - so if the
writeback code observation window gets set larger than the stats window,
things become strange since you'll likely miss quite some observations
about read latencies. So I think you need to make sure stats window is
always larger than writeback window. Or actually, why do you have something
like stats window and don't leave clearing of statistics completely to the
writeback tracking code?

Also as a side note - nobody currently uses the mean value of the
statistics. It may be faster to track just sum and count so that mean can
be computed on request which will be presumably much more rare than current
situation where we recompute the mean on each batch update. Actually, that
way you could get rid of the batching as well I assume.
