Shouldn't there rather be some generic way of doing this? Having
virtio_pmem_host_cache_enabled() check in filesystem code just looks like
filesystem sniffing into details is should not care about... Maybe just
naming this (or having a wrapper) dax_dev_map_sync_supported()?

Thanks for the feedback.
Just wanted to avoid 'dax' in function name just to differentiate this with real dax.
But yes can add a wrapper: dax_dev_map_sync_supported()
Thanks,

Echoing what Jan said, this ought to be some sort of generic function
that tells us whether or not memory mapped from the dax device will
always still be accessible even after a crash (i.e. supports MAP_SYNC).
What if the underlying file on the host is itself on pmem and can be
MAP_SYNC'd? Shouldn't the guest be able to use MAP_SYNC as well?

o.k

Guest MAP_SYNC on actual host pmem will sync guest metadata, as guest
writes are persistent on actual pmem. Host side Qemu MAP_SYNC enabling
work for pmem is in progress. It will make sure metadata at host side
is in consistent state after a crash or any other metadata corruption
operation.
For virtio-pmem, we are emulating pmem device over regular storage on
host side. Guest need to call fsync followed by write to make sure
guest metadata is in consistent state(or journalled). Host backing file
data & metadata will also be persistent after guest to host fsync.
