Vincent Fu (7):
      Merge branch 'io_uring/multiple-write-modes' of https://github.com/minwooim/fio
      engines/io_uring_cmd: debug print for write mode
      verify: debug print for verifying write zeroes
      t/nvmept_write_mode: check write mode splits
      t/nvmept_write_mode: check verify job
      t/nvmept_write_mode: improve formatting
