Dirtying inodes from block driver

I've got a block storage driver whose backing device can dirty data on-disk
without OS action. How can I communicate that dirtied state to vfs such
that caches are purged, etc?

Data dirtied by the backing device is only known asynchronously. I think I
need to solve this in request_fn().

Thanks
