I thought kflushd would only *trigger* data to be written back to disk.
But I was not sure, so I did a grep over the files in Documentation/
but could not find information about kflushd. (In short, I then had
looks at bdflush.8 and fs/buffer.c to follow the write down to
make_request() calls).

Okay, so you're right, thanks.

ciao,
