Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: don't ignore writing pages on fsync during checkpoint=disable

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Wed Aug 25 2021 - 17:33:04 EST


We must flush all the dirty data when enabling checkpoint back. Let's guarantee
that first. In order to mitigate any failure, let's flush data in fsync as well
during checkpoint=disable.
