commit b0ff4fe746fd028eef920ddc8c7b0361c1ede6ec upstream. During checkpoint=disable period, f2fs bypasses all the synchronous IOs such as sync and fsync. So, when enabling it back, we must flush all of them in order to keep the data persistent. Otherwise, suddern power-cut right after enabling checkpoint will cause data loss.

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.
