Tejun,

I have a confusion regarding the following statement.

"along with previously completed writes on bio completion"

I thought REQ_FUA just gurantees that bio/req carrying REQ_FUA flag is
on disk platter. It does not gurantee anything about other requests 
which completed before this bio/req and might still be in non volatile
caches of device.

Thanks
Vivek
