Subject: fix cache flushes for the RT device
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 10:33:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907073427.719935-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Hi all,

when tracing workloads, I realized that currently the volatile write
cache on RT devices is only flushed by fsync, but never at all for
workloads that do not use fsync.

Changes since v1:
 - drop the patches that are pure optimizations for a minimal fix
   series
 - improve a commit log
