There were multiple issues with direct_io_allow_mmap: - fuse_link_write_file() was missing, resulting in warnings in fuse_write_file_get() and EIO from msync() - "vma->vm_ops = &fuse_file_vm_ops" was not set, but especially fuse_page_mkwrite is needed. The semantics of invalidate_inode_pages2() is so far not clearly defined in fuse_file_mmap. It dates back to commit3121bfe763("fuse: fix "direct_io" private mmap") Though, as direct_io_allow_mmap is a new feature, that was for MAP_PRIVATE only. As invalidate_inode_pages2() is calling into fuse_launder_folio() and writes out dirty pages, it should be safe to call invalidate_inode_pages2 for MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED as well.

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.
