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.
