Subject: Flushing dirty data after bcache detach

Hi bcache team,
we are currently developing performance test scripts with Fio for bcache.
At the end of a test we want to detach and destroy the cache. Therefore we did:
echo 1 > /sys/block/$dev/bcache/detach
echo 1 > /sys/block/$dev/bcache/stop
echo 1 > /sys/fs/bcache/*/stop
echo 1 > /sys/fs/bcache/*/unregister
With a simple randwrite test with we had about 2GB dirty data in the cache. After detaching the dirty data flush rate was about 900KB/s from SSD to HDD.
Is there a way to accelerate flushing of dirty data?
What is the correct way to detach/destroy a writeback caching device?
