commit c55e0a55b165202f18cbc4a20650d2e1becd5507 upstream.
Although DIRECT_IO_RELAX's initial usage is to allow shared mmap, its
description indicates a purpose of reducing memory footprint. This
may imply that it could be further used to relax other DIRECT_IO
operations in the future.
Replace it with a flag DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP which does only one thing,
allow shared mmap of DIRECT_IO files while still bypassing the cache
on regular reads and writes.
[Miklos] Also Keep DIRECT_IO_RELAX definition for backward compatibility.

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.
