[PATCH] arch/powerpc/dax: Add MAP_SYNC mmap flag

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <hidden>
Date: 2019-03-15 09:45:21
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

This enables support for synchronous DAX fault on powerpc

The generic changes are added as part of
commit b6fb293f2497 ("mm: Define MAP_SYNC and VM_SYNC flags")

Without this, mmap returns EOPNOTSUPP for MAP_SYNC with MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE

Fixes: b5beae5e224f ("powerpc/pseries: Add driver for PAPR SCM regions")
