This does not happen on the host OS however. I think you are describing a situation where a guest submits multiple overlapping I/O requests at the same time. virtio-blk does not guarantee a specific request ordering, so the application needs to wait for request completion if ordering matters. io_submit(2) also does not make guarantees about ordering.
