yes, pls calm down.

i agree with Libor's suggestion.

1) make write back as an option here, as a patch, not be merged.
2) try to implement support for WRITE FUA, SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE (this is
useful for both write through and write back)
3) pursue a true write back solution with order preserve. or extra write
redo log. implement a new io handler.
4)...
