Subject: Re: [RFC v3 0/2] virtio-pmem: Asynchronous flush

ping

>  Jeff reported preflush order issue with the existing implementation
>  of virtio pmem preflush. Dan suggested[1] to implement asynchronous flush
>  for virtio pmem using work queue as done in md/RAID. This patch series
>  intends to solve the preflush ordering issue and makes the flush asynchronous
>  for the submitting thread. Also, adds the flush coalscing logic.
>
>  Submitting this RFC v3 series for review. Thank You!
>
>  RFC v2 -> RFC v3
>  - Improve commit log message - patch1.
>  - Improve return error handling for Async flush.
>  - declare'INIT_WORK' only once.
>  - More testing and bug fix.
