But this is pretty much implementation specific, and typically wrapped into the device teardown path. But that typically also involves tearing down and re-creating the device node which doesn't lend itself for some configurations. This proposal is to ensure that all I/O is flushed from the device without having to reconfigure anything; typical use-case would be when this device is used as a backing device for a nvmet namespace.
