Description

A thread releasing the exclusive lock (and flushing the cache) might race with a thread submitting a new write operation. The write IO should be queued but instead it is processed. This can result in the cache having writeback bufferheads while it doesn't own the exclusive lock -- which will get flushed at some point.
