[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: don't give partially written atomic data from process crash

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Tue Jul 25 2017 - 21:29:36 EST


This patch resolves the below scenario.

== Process 1 == == Process 2 ==
open(w) open(rw)
begin
write(new_#1)
process_crash
f_op->flush
locks_remove_posix
f_op>release
read (new_#1)

In order to avoid corrupted database caused by new_#1, we must do roll-back
at process_crash time. In order to check that, this patch keeps task which
triggers transaction begin, and does roll-back in f_op->flush before removing
file locks.
