Yes, this looks better. Changed.

Made static. Leftover from last refactor of 'asyc_pmem_flush'.

o.k.

When we could not add because of -ENOSPC we are waiting and when buffer is added
then only we do a kick. For any other error which might be a rare occurrence, I think
kick is harmless here and keeps the code clean?

Sure, Thank you. Attaching below on top changes on current patch2 based on
your suggestions. Let me know if these are okay and then will send official
v13 to for upstream merging.

Thanks,
