Well, not necessarily. There are APIs to flush mmapped data which the
user can call. However, the most likely thing (especially if the user
is careless---how many times do you code your apps to do fflush() for
instance?) is simply that automatic reaping will flush the page for you,
or failing that it will be flushed on process exit.
For mmapped file descriptors, there are other events which trigger
flushing, but I forget exactly what they are.
