I wonder if it's just a case of too short a timeout on the cache flushes?
The answer in general to this question has always been "yes".....

the spec, and unbounded in practice as well.

But I don't think we've yet seen a proven case of it taking too long
for the current libata timeouts. Unless it's happening now.
