    f2fs: sync dir->i_size with its block allocation · 699489bb
    Jaegeuk Kim authored
    If new dentry block is allocated and its i_size is updated, we should update
    its inode block together in order to sync i_size and its block allocation.
    Otherwise, we can loose additional dentry block due to the unconsistent i_size.
    
    Errorneous Scenario
    -------------------
    
    In the recovery routine,
     - recovery_dentry
     | - __f2fs_add_link
     | | - get_new_data_page
     | | | - i_size_write(new_i_size)
     | | | - mark_inode_dirty_sync(dir)
     | | - update_parent_metadata
     | | | - mark_inode_dirty(dir)
     |
     - write_checkpoint
       - sync_dirty_dir_inodes
         - filemap_flush(dentry_blocks)
           - f2fs_write_data_page
             - skip to write the last dentry block due to index < i_size
    
    In the above flow, new_i_size is not updated to its inode block so that the
    last dentry block will be lost accordingly.
