Is it possible to do a sync write from a thread without blocking
the process completely? I have tried with open(O_FSYNC) and by
calling fsync() after writev(), but neither seem to make any other
thread runnable.

Btw, O_FSYNC isn't documented in open.2. Fsync()ing also seems to
be sligtly faster, is this an illusion or is there a difference
in the semantics?
