From: Hao Xu <howeyxu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
FOPEN_DIRECT_IO is usually set by fuse daemon to indicate need of strong
coherency, e.g. network filesystems. Thus shared mmap is disabled since
it leverages page cache and may write to it, which may cause
inconsistence. But FOPEN_DIRECT_IO can be used not for coherency but to
reduce memory footprint as well, e.g. reduce guest memory usage with
virtiofs. Therefore, add a new fuse init flag FUSE_DIRECT_IO_RELAX to
relax restrictions in that mode, currently, it allows shared mmap.
One thing to note is to make sure it doesn't break coherency in your
use case.
