Currently the PMEM driver doesn't accept REQ_FLUSH or REQ_FUA bios. These are sent down via blkdev_issue_flush() in response to a fsync() or msync() and are used by filesystems to order their metadata, among other things. 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.
