Looks fine except for a few nitpicks below: Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Nitpick: we don't call fdatasync, as that doesn't even exist in the kernel, but vfs_fsync_range. But documenting which functions we call doesn't seem all that useful to start with, so if you really want to document it I'd say something like: "Ensures that the file range touched by the page fault is stored persistently on the media" or similar.

Is there really any point to ifdef out this single branch?
+ else + WARN_ON_ONCE(1); + err = vfs_fsync_range(vmf->vma->vm_file, start, start + len - 1, 1);
(this just reminds me that I hate the vfs_fsync_range /->fsync calling conventions.., offset + len would be way to easy)
