Does anyone have a clever idea how to fix this without just waiting for all IO requests to complete?

What's wrong with waiting for requests to complete? It should take a few tens of milliseconds.

An alternative would be to attempt to cancel the requests. This incurs no non-deterministic latency.

Yes, that's even better (though without linux-aio, it's equivalent).


The tricky bit is that this has to happen at the device layer because the opaques cannot be saved in a meaningful way.


Do you mean the device has to record all cancelled requests and replay them? I think we can do it at the block layer (though we have to avoid it for nested requests).
