mainlining shenanigans
aaa422c4c3
While reviewing whether MAP_SYNC should strengthen its current guarantee of syncing writes from the initiating process to also include third-party readers observing dirty metadata, Dave pointed out that the check of IOMAP_WRITE is misplaced. The policy of what to with IOMAP_F_DIRTY should be separated from the generic filesystem mechanism of reporting dirty metadata. Move this policy to the fs-dax core to simplify the per-filesystem iomap handlers, and further centralize code that implements the MAP_SYNC policy. This otherwise should not change behavior, it just makes it easier to change behavior in the future.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
