      f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forward · d624c96f
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      This adds roll-forward routines to recover fsynced data.
      
      - F2FS uses basically roll-back model with checkpointing.
      
      - In order to implement fsync(), there are two approaches as follows.
      
      1. A roll-back model with checkpointing at every fsync()
       : This is a naive method, but suffers from very low performance.
      
      2. A roll-forward model
       : F2FS adopts this model where all the fsynced data should be recovered, which
         were written after checkpointing was done. In order to figure out the data,
         F2FS keeps a "fsync" mark in direct node blocks. In addition, F2FS remains
         the location of next node block in each direct node block for reconstructing
         the chain of node blocks during the recovery.
      
      - In order to enhance the performance, F2FS keeps a "dentry" mark also in direct
        node blocks. If this is set during the recovery, F2FS replays adding a dentry.
