From: John Garry <john.garry at linux.dev>
Currently diskstats for partitions are never updated:
$ ./fio_read nvme1n1p1 # run traffic on /dev/nvme1n1p1
...
$ more /proc/diskstats | grep nvme1
259 2 nvme1c1n1 49857 0 400344 768565 0 0 0 0 0 2334 768565 0 0 0 0 0 0
259 3 nvme1n1 99710 0 800680 1599285 0 0 0 0 0 2346 1599285 0 0 0 0 0 0
259 5 nvme1n1p1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
259 4 nvme1c2n1 49853 0 400336 831472 0 0 0 0 0 2315 831472 0 0 0 0 0 0
This is because we only ever update the diskstats for the multipath disk in
nvme_mpath_end_request(), and we never take into account that the original
bi_bdev may been a partition of this disk.
Functions bdev_start_io_acct() and bdev_start_io_acct() do handle
updating diskstats for a partition, in that they also update the whole
disk also (if a partition), so use the partition (if applicable) when
calling those functions.

Setting as an RFC as adding this extra bio field is not acceptable, but I
can't see how to lookup the original partition.
