I just noticed that my device configured with BFQ still shows 
wbt_lat_usec
as configured, despite the fact that BFQ disables WBT in 
bfq_init_queue [1]:

$cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler
mq-deadline [bfq] none
$cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/wbt_lat_usec
75000

Is this supposed to be 0 (since it's disabled) or is sysfs confused?

Thanks,
Holger
I'm reviewing wbt codes recently, and I found that this problem will
happen if the default elevator is bfq. I'll try to fix this, do you 
mind
if I add reported-by tag?
Do not mind at all - thank you for looking into it!
Let me know if I can test a patch or help in some other way.

Btw not sure what "default scheduler" means here, I set my schedulers 
via
udev rules. In this case:

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="1", 
ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
Default means the elevator is bfq when device is created.

Perhaps can you try the following patch?

     blk-wbt: don't enable throttling if default elevator is bfq

     Commit b5dc5d4d1f4f ("block,bfq: Disable writeback throttling") 
tries to
     disable wbt for bfq, it's done by calling wbt_disable_default() in
     bfq_init_queue(). However, wbt is still enabled if default 
elevator is
     bfq:

     device_add_disk
      elevator_init_mq
       bfq_init_queue
        wbt_disable_default -> done nothing

      blk_register_queue
       wbt_enable_default -> wbt is enabled

     Fix the problem by checking elevator name if wbt_enable_default() is
     called from blk_register_queue().

So that didn't help, unfortunately.

Directly after boot (with the above udev rule):

$cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler
mq-deadline [bfq] none
$cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/wbt_lat_usec
75000

Changing the scheduler back and forth also does not help:

$echo mq-deadline > /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler
$echo bfq > /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler
$cat /sys/block/sdc/queue/wbt_lat_usec
75000
Thanks for the test, it turns out this way doesn't select bfq as default
as I expected...

wbt can show min_lat_nsec despite that wbt can be disabled by
wbt_disable_default(), I do miss that previously...

Can you try the following patch again?
