Thanks Alan,

I am actually trying to profile the time taken by each layer to complete the
disk write opertaion as sys_write to queue_command invokation veries alot.

Of course it varies. The kernel buffers disk writes, shuffles them
around, and then carries them out when it wants to. As James has
pointed out, your write(2) system calls don't directly cause any I/O to
take place.
