I read this at lwn.net a while ago but it seems there is no fix to it. How is MySQL doing? I believe Oracle etc are not having this problem as they deal with disk directly.

I think that all databases are affected by this to some degree when not using Direct-IO, and I think Oracle and MySQL can both run with or without direct-IO.
