librbd provides crash-consistent IO. It is still up to your application to provide its own consistency by adding barriers (flushes) where necessary. If you flush your IO, once that flush completes you are guaranteed that your previous IO is safely committed to disk.

This is more focused on applications on top of file systems, but is still
relevant for applications running on block devices.
