mmap with MAP_SHARED fails on IBM GPFS, causing packed backend to fail
Summary
When using libgit2 on IBM GPFS (General Parallel File System), repositories with packed objects fail to load because the packed backend uses mmap with MAP_SHARED flag, which is not supported by GPFS.
Root Cause
The packed backend in libgit2 uses mmap with MAP_SHARED flag to map packed object files. However, IBM GPFS does not support the MAP_SHARED flag, causing mmap to fail.
Impact
This issue was discovered through the following call chain:
- powerlevel10k zsh theme → gitstatus → libgit2 → packed backend → mmap with MAP_SHARED
The same repositories work perfectly fine on other file systems like local disk
