Hello,
In Documentation/cache.txt, section ‘Updating on-disk metadata’ mentions that “If the system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted”. 
I am assuming that the above line is relevant for writeback mode only, and in writethrough mode the cache will always be coherent after a crash. 
Can someone confirm/reject this assumption?

That's correct

Reason being that the cache never holds any dirty pages in writethrough mode.
