fs, dax: unify IOMAP_F_DIRTY read vs write handling policy in the dax core
While reviewing whether MAP_SYNC should strengthen its current guarantee
of syncing writes from the initiating process to also include
third-party readers observing dirty metadata, Dave pointed out that the
check of IOMAP_WRITE is misplaced.
The policy of what to with IOMAP_F_DIRTY should be separated from the
generic filesystem mechanism of reporting dirty metadata. Move this
policy to the fs-dax core to simplify the per-filesystem iomap handlers,
and further centralize code that implements the MAP_SYNC policy. This
otherwise should not change behavior, it just makes it easier to change
behavior in the future.
