[patch 2/3] fuse: allow private mappings of "direct_io" files

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Mon Mar 30 2009 - 16:03:22 EST


From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Allow MAP_PRIVATE mmaps of "direct_io" files. This is necessary for
execute support.

MAP_SHARED mappings require some sort of coherency between the
underlying file and the mapping. With "direct_io" it is difficult to
provide this, so for the moment just disallow shared (read-write and
read-only) mappings altogether.
