Review Comment:
> I'm not sure what you mean by this. Is this a concern regarding direct vs
fadvise or a concern regarding sync vs async?
Both. TBH, it's an entirely unsubstantiated intuition, but taking full
control of how and when writes happen (as opposed to letting the kernel decide)
means you'll face the same set of issues that kernel developers have dealt with
and solved other the years.
