    Subject[PATCH 4.16 191/196] device-dax: allow MAP_SYNC to succeed
    Date
    4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>

    commit ef8423022324cf79bd1b41d8707c766461e7e555 upstream.

    MAP_SYNC is a nop for device-dax. Allow MAP_SYNC to succeed on device-dax
    to eliminate special casing between device-dax and fs-dax as to when the
    flag can be specified. Device-dax users already implicitly assume that they do
    not need to call fsync(), and this enables them to explicitly check for this
    capability.
