    f2fs: fix conditions to remain recovery information in f2fs_sync_file · 88bd02c9
    Jaegeuk Kim authored
    This patch revisited whole the recovery information during the f2fs_sync_file.
    
    In this patch, there are three information to make a decision.
    
    a) IS_CHECKPOINTED,	/* is it checkpointed before? */
    b) HAS_FSYNCED_INODE,	/* is the inode fsynced before? */
    c) HAS_LAST_FSYNC,	/* has the latest node fsync mark? */
    
    And, the scenarios for our rule are based on:
    
    [Term] F: fsync_mark, D: dentry_mark
    
    1. inode(x) | CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
    2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
    3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
    4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
    5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
    6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
    7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
    8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
    
    For example, #3, the three conditions should be changed as follows.
    
       inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
    a)    x       o      o          o          o
    b)    x       x      x          x          o
    c)    x       o      o          x          o
    
    If f2fs_sync_file stops   ------^,
     it should write inode(F)    --------------^
    
    So, the need_inode_block_update should return true, since
     c) get_nat_flag(e, HAS_LAST_FSYNC), is false.
    
    For example, #8
    
    ,
          CP | alloc | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
    a)    o      x        x          x          x
    b)    x               x          x          o
    c)    o               o          x          o
    
    If f2fs_sync_file stops   -------^,
     it should write inode(DF)    --------------^
    
    Note that, the roll-forward policy should follow this rule, which means,
    if there are any missing blocks, we doesn't need to recover that inode.
