Thanks for the report! I was not able able to reproduce (even with asan-enabled)
but I think the test is wrong. Indeed the backend could fsync too during the 
test
(see register_dirty_segment() and the case where the request queue is full).

I think the test should look like the attached instead, thoughts?

Regards,

Subject: [PATCH v1] Fix per-backend IO stats regression test

The tests added in 9aea73fc61 did not take into account that the backend can
fsync in some circumstances.
