   Btw, allowing some kind of buffer cache write through would be an usefull
   feature. Some applications (like data logging) work better blocks written
   by an application are sent to the disk immediately. In this way the disk
   I/O caused by the application is distributed over longer period of time
   and it doesn't become an bottleneck. This kind of mode could be turned on
   using fcntl() or something like it so that it doesn't disturb normal
   applications. Is anybody interested in implementing this kind of feature
   in Linux?

It's there already --- see O_SYNC.
