Subject: [PATCH 17/17] xfs: support for synchronous DAX faults

From: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>

Return IOMAP_F_DIRTY from xfs_file_iomap_begin() when asked to prepare
blocks for writing and the inode is pinned, and has dirty fields other
than the timestamps. In __xfs_filemap_fault() we then detect this case
and call dax_finish_sync_fault() to make sure all metadata is committed,
and to insert the page table entry.

Note that this will also dirty corresponding radix tree entry which is
what we want - fsync(2) will still provide data integrity guarantees for
applications not using userspace flushing. And applications using
userspace flushing can avoid calling fsync(2) and thus avoid the
performance overhead.

[JK: Added VM_SYNC flag handling]

I'd kill this define. Also is there any good reason that we have
to add LEGACY_MAP_MASK instead of assuming it's supported in the
core?

I usually either reformat all members to be aligned again, or if that's
too much churn (in this case it probably is) just use a single space
before the = to minimize the alignment differences.

Otherwise your changes look good to me.
