f2fs: support atomic writes
This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support. In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls: o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE The database engine should be aware of the following sequence. 1. open -> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE); 2. writes : all the written data will be treated as atomic pages. 3. commit -> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE); : this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or nothing by f2fs recovery procedure. 4. repeat to #2. The IO pattens should be: ,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE CP | D D D D D D | FSYNC | D D D D | FSYNC ... `- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
