[PATCH v2] lightnvm: pblk: clear flush point on completed writes

From: Hans Holmberg
Date: Thu Dec 28 2017 - 08:21:49 EST


Move completion of syncs and clearing of flush points to the
write completion path - this ensures that the data has been
comitted to the media before completing bios containing syncs.

Changes since v1:

* Fixed an off-by one issue when clearing flush points
