Currently if many flush requests are submitted to an md device is quick
succession, they are serialized and can take a long to process them all.
We don't really need to call flush all those times - a single flush call
can satisfy all requests submitted before it started.
So keep track of when the current flush started and when it finished,
allow any pending flush that was requested before the flush started
to complete without waiting any more.
Test results from Xiao:
Test is done on a raid10 device which is created by 4 SSDs. The tool is
dbench.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
