FOPEN_DIRECT_IO is usually set by fuse daemon to indicate need of strong coherency, e.g. network filesystems. Thus shared mmap is disabled since it leverages page cache and may write to it, which may cause inconsistence. But FOPEN_DIRECT_IO can be used not for coherency but to reduce memory footprint as well, e.g. reduce guest memory usage with virtiofs. Therefore, add a new fuse init flag FUSE_DIRECT_IO_RELAX to relax restrictions in that mode, currently, it allows shared mmap. One thing to note is to make sure it doesn't break coherency in your use case. Signed-off-by: Hao Xu <howeyxu@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
