How can userspace determine when to trigger a flush?

Generally, a driver kicks off a flush operation for a hardware before
reading data from buffer or when disable a link path.  I don't know the
hardware mechanism of TNOC, but seems to me, it does not make sense to
let the userspace to trigger a hardware flush, given the userspace has
no knowledge for device's state.

Furthermore, based on my understanding for patch 02 and 03, the working
flow is also concerned me.  IIUC, you want to use the driver to create
a linkage and then use userspace program to poll state and trigger
flushing.  Could you explain why use this way for managing the device?

Thanks,
Leo
