Currently the PMEM driver doesn't accept REQ_FLUSH bios. These are sent down via blkdev_issue_flush() in response to a fsync() or msync(). When we get an msync() or fsync() it is the responsibility of the DAX code to flush all dirty pages to media. The PMEM driver then just has issue a wmb_pmem() in response to the REQ_FLUSH to ensure that before we return all the flushed data has been durably stored on the media.
