[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V9 4/6] util/mmap-alloc: support MAP_SYNC in qemu_ram_mmap()

[Zhang Yi]

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).
