[RFC PATCH v2] f2fs: record need_fsck in super_block

From: Chao Yu
Date: Tue Sep 13 2022 - 09:59:41 EST


Once CP_ERROR_FLAG is set, checkpoint is disallowed to be triggered to
persist CP_FSCK_FLAG, fsck won't repair the image due to lack of
CP_FSCK_FLAG.

This patch proposes to persist newly introduced SB_NEED_FSCK flag into
super block if CP_ERROR_FLAG and SBI_NEED_FSCK is set, later, once fsck
detect this flag, it can check and repair corrupted image in time.
