Actually, support for sync flags was added only from kernel version 4.16.
Since, I was using 4.16, I didn't face that issue. Thats why minimum kernel
version has been updated to 4.16 in the patch v5.

The function get tempdir will be ported to the new library soon. So, I
have not modified that part. Other changes have been made in patch v5.
