Hi Mark/Alexandre, The results are with journal and data configured in the same SSD ? Also, how are you configuring your journal device, is it a block device ? If journal and data are not in the same device result may change. BTW, there are SSDs like SanDisk optimas drives that is using capacitor backed DRAM and thus always ignore these CMD_FLUSH command since drive guarantees that once data reaches drive, it will power fail safe.So, you don't need kernel patch. Optimus random write performance is ~15K (4K io_size). Presently, I don't have any write performance data (on ceph) with that, I will run some test with that soon and share.
