fsync.2: Note that some systems require a writable file descriptor
...
An edited version of Guillem Jover's comments:
[While the file descriptor does not need to be writable on Linux]
that's not a safe portable assumption to make on POSIX in general
as that behavior is not specified and as such is
implementation-specific. Some Unix systems do actually fail on
read-only file descriptors, for example [HP-UX and AIX].

- explain the situation with disk caches better
- remove the duplicate fdatasync() explanation in the NOTES
section
- remove an incorrect note about fsync() generally requiring two
writes
- remove an obsolete ext2 example note
- fsync() works on any file descriptor (doesn't need to be
writable); correct the EBADF error code explanation

fallocate.2: Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION
...
The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.
