Hi Evan,

Right, rpmh_flush() now can be called from any cpu. i will remove 
comments from above.

part for rpmh_flush(),  flush_batch()  and ctrlr->dirty update was 
already covered within cache lock, however its needed to protect

entire rpmh_flush() in cache_lock now.

updates in v9.

Thanks,

Maulik
