The block layer use the same code several times to check if flush bio
contain data, for example:

submit_bio_noacct
  if (op_is_flush(bio->bi_opf))
   if (!test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_WC, &q->queue_flags))
    if (!bio_sectors(bio))
     bio_endio(bio);

Or will the bi_size to be less than one sector?

Thanks,
