[PATCH v6 6/6] xfs: disable map_sync for async flush

From: Pankaj Gupta
Date: Tue Apr 23 2019 - 04:08:34 EST


Dont support 'MAP_SYNC' with non-DAX files and DAX files
with asynchronous dax_device. Virtio pmem provides
asynchronous host page cache flush mechanism. We don't
support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem and xfs.
