To give you a little bit of background when the OSD writes into his journal it uses D_SYNC and O_DIRECT. Writing with O_DIRECT bypasses the Kernel page cache, while D_SYNC ensures that the command won’t return until every single write is complete. So yes, basically the OSD forces all the writes to be flushed prior to start the next IO.
