[ Upstream commit 2787991516468bfafafb9bf2b45a848e6b202e7c ] [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15126.html As [1] reported, if lower device doesn't support write barrier, in below case: - write page #0; persist - overwrite page #0 - fsync - write data page #0 OPU into device's cache - write inode page into device's cache - issue flush If SPO is triggered during flush command, inode page can be persisted before data page #0, so that after recovery, inode page can be recovered with new physical block address of data page #0, however there may contains dummy data in new physical block address. Then what user will see is: after overwrite & fsync + SPO, old data in file was corrupted, if any user do care about such case, we can suggest user to use STRICT fsync mode, in this mode, we will force to use atomic write sematics to keep write order in between data/node and last node, so that it avoids potential data corruption during fsync().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
