Kevin, about this assertion, introduced in 28de2dcd88de "block: Assert serialisation assumptions in pwritev"? Will not it fail with fleecing scheme? I'm afraid it will, when we will wait for client read with our request, marked serializing a moment ago...

Can we just switch it to assert(!waited || !req->partial);, setting req->partial in bdrv_co_pwritev for parts of unaligned requests? And allow new flag only for aligned requests?

Other ideas?

      assert(req->overlap_offset <= offset);
