You're testing buffer IO here, and I don't see that write back cgroup is
enabled. Is this test intentional? Why not test direct IO?

Looks like all dirty buffer got flushed to disk at the last second while
the file is closed, this is expected.

And I don't this wiops=max is the reason, what need to explain is that
why dirty buffer got flushed to disk synchronously before the dd finish
and close the file?

Can you give the direct IO a test? And also enable write back cgroup for
buffer IO.
