18 * MS_SYNC syncs the entire file - including mappings.
20 * MS_ASYNC does not start I/O (it used to, up to 2.5.67).
21 * Nor does it marks the relevant pages dirty (it used to up to 2.6.17).
22 * Now it doesn't do anything, since dirty pages are properly tracked.
24 * The application may now run fsync() to
25 * write out the dirty pages and wait on the writeout and check the result.
26 * Or the application may run fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) against the fd to start
27 * async writeout immediately.
28 * So by _not_ starting I/O in MS_ASYNC we provide complete flexibility to
