The aim of .flush fop is to hint file-system that flushing its state or caches or any other important data to reliable storage would be desirable now. fuse_flush() passes this hint by sending FUSE_FLUSH request to userspace. However, dirty pages and pages under writeback may be not visible to userspace yet if we won't ensure it explicitly.
