[PATCH] f2fs: guarantee to write dirty data when enabling checkpoint back

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Thu Aug 19 2021 - 17:00:57 EST


We must flush all the dirty data when enabling checkpoint back. Let's guarantee
that first by adding a retry logic on sync_inodes_sb(). In addition to that,
this patch adds to flush data in fsync when checkpoint is disabled, which can
mitigate the sync_inodes_sb() failures in advance.
