But still, this isn't the same thing as what's requested. If I understand correctly, what is requested is a mechanism to flush out all data for multiple file descriptors and follow that with a single barrier/flush (and yes, Ted did give a summary of the commands that would be required to accomplish that). There still remains the question of why this should be tied to the AIO submission interface.
