We may trigger high frequent checkpoint for below case:
1. mkdir /mnt/dir1; set dir1 encrypted
2. touch /mnt/file1; fsync /mnt/file1
3. mkdir /mnt/dir2; set dir2 encrypted
4. touch /mnt/file2; fsync /mnt/file2
...
Although, newly created dir and file are not related, due to
commit bbf156f7afa7 ("f2fs: fix lost xattrs of directories"), we will
trigger checkpoint whenever fsync() comes after a new encrypted dir
created.
In order to avoid such condition, let's record an entry including
directory's ino into global cache when we initialize encryption policy
in a checkpointed directory, and then only trigger checkpoint() when
target file's parent has non-persisted encryption policy, for the case
its parent is not checkpointed, need_do_checkpoint() has cover that
by verifying it with f2fs_is_checkpointed_node().

What will happen, if we need to checkpoint xattr_nid on this directory?
need_do_checkpoint()
a) else if (!f2fs_is_checkpointed_node(sbi, F2FS_I(inode)->i_pino))
cp_reason = CP_NODE_NEED_CP;
This will change the current behavior which does checkpoint regardless of the
parent being checkpointed. If i_pino was checkpointed but xnid wasn't, can we
get xnid being checkpointed?
Yes,
If parent is checkpointed, after converting parent to encrypted directory
and create the file in parent, fsync this file will trigger checkpoint() due
to b)
If i_pino was checkpointed, but xnid wasn't due to enable encryption on this
I keep asking no encryption case where
1) parent is checkpointed
2) set_xattr(dir) w/ new new xnid
3) create(file)
4) fsync(file)
In that case, previousely we do checkpoint, but this change does not. Yes?
In this case, we won't checkpoint xnid, instead, just flushing file's data/node.
So yes, actually this patch will change the policy, which looks posix compliance,
that mean we only persist the file's meta/data after fsync(file).
How about keeping original policy in FSYNC_MODE_STRICT mode, and using current
policy in FSYNC_MODE_POSIX mode?
Thanks,
directory, fsync() this file will trigger checkpoint() to make sure xnid
checkpointed due to b) case.
