Subject: [PATCH 18/19] xfs: support for synchronous DAX faults

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

Return IOMAP_F_NEEDDSYNC from xfs_file_iomap_begin() for a synchronous
write fault when inode is pinned, and has dirty fields other than the
timestamps.  In xfs_filemap_huge_fault() we then detect this case and
call dax_finish_sync_fault() to make sure all metadata is committed, and
to insert the page table entry.

Note that this will also dirty corresponding radix tree entry which is
what we want - fsync(2) will still provide data integrity guarantees for
applications not using userspace flushing. And applications using
userspace flushing can avoid calling fsync(2) and thus avoid the
performance overhead.
