engine will try to stack as much IOs as possible by creating requests for IME.
FIO will then decide when to commit these requests.

.SS "I/O engine specific parameters"
In addition, there are some parameters which are only valid when a specific
\fBioengine\fR is in use. These are used identically to normal parameters,
\fBserialize_overlap\fR tells fio to avoid provoking this behavior by explicitly
serializing in-flight I/Os that have a non-zero overlap. Note that setting
this option can reduce both performance and the \fBiodepth\fR achieved.
-Additionally this option does not work when \fBio_submit_mode\fR is set to
-offload. Default: false.

+.P
+This option only applies to I/Os issued for a single job except when it is
+enabled along with \fBio_submit_mode\fR=offload. In offload mode, fio
+will check for overlap among all I/Os submitted by offload jobs with \fBserialize_overlap\fR
+enabled.
