In case of embedded devices, where /etc/ is mounted as 'read-only'.
We donot have the /etc/mtab file. So, checking if the device is already
mounted from this file is not sufficient.
Try to read /proc/mounts in case of failure from /etc/mtab.

By default, we should use dynamic linking.
If anyone need to build 100% statically, add -all-static.
This reverts commit 2eb19102d4c5bec57c04c944ee697584a493ef9c.
Rearrange positions of all the data structures for easy synchronization between
f2fs-tools and f2fs kernel sources.

This is due to GC on data sections.
When a data section is cleaned, it produces maximum same number of dirty node
blocks additionally.
So, we should reserve x2 sections to flush dirty node blocks safely.

Use "foreign", so that we are not forced to have all files GNU
requires. It also gets us rid of the INSTALL boilerplate.
Use tar-pax dist-xz to select a modern compression scheme.

Place most of the autogenerated files in a separate directory that can
be ignored wholesale, thereby reducing files in the top-level

Some block devices don't implement HDIO_GETGEP ioctl;
loop device being a notable example.
Without this patch, it's not possible to make a f2fs
on a file mounted over a loop device.

Patch 1:
Now we have two different versions that produce different superblocks/
filesystems with the same version info. Major/minor version in the sb
should reflect the version of the tool creating the filesystem. This
patch will ensure that the version entered in the file VERSION will
be used consistently throughout the code.
Patch 2:
In order to simplify the maintenance with a new release the date
in F2FS_TOOLS_DATE is now take from the last commit in git. Thus,
git is needed to run autoconf. However, git is not needed for the
simple build procedure, ./configure && make, that should be the
only things needed to build the tool from a tar.gz package.
Pros & Cons:
[+] Automated
[+] True
[-] Git needed to run autoreconf
Change log by Jaegeuk from the initial patch-set:
- Merge two patches into one
: Eliminate the intermediate state having version.h and VERSION.
- Remove the Git dependency which is one of Cons
: If there is no git tree, just use DATE described in VERSION.
- Minor coding style
Pros & Cons:
[+] Automated
[+] True
[+] No Git dependency

This patch fixes the bug as follows.
"I'm trying to roll out f2fs on top of SDHC card and faced with following
issue - after mounting card I cannot read device root entry. It returns
-1 EINVAL (entry too big).
getdents(3, /* 1 entries */, 32768) = 24
getdents(3, 0x1082c88, 32768) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)"
reported by Ruslan N. Marchenko [me@ruff.mobi].
This bug is easily reproducible and I couldn't have checked the mount
entry cautiously.
Due to the bug, f2fs couldn't get default dentries, . and .., in the root
directory. In the case of other newly created directories, that's fine.
The problem was the overflow during casting variables while calculating the
block address of the root dentry block.
In order to avoid that, I simply split the equation under consideration of
the casting issue.

There are two superblock writes in mkfs.f2fs.
offset: 0 1024 4095 5119 8191
|------> 1'st superblock ----|--------> 2'nd superblock ----|
Therefore, each superblocks has 1024 byte-size offset.

When f2fs is unmounted cleanly, it stores active summmary blocks of nodes in the
checkpoint pack in order to avoid reconstruct all of them at the later mount
time. Previously, mkfs didn't prepare that, which is why the initial mount time
is so huge.

"Usually, it is used 128-bits UUID for serial number. Why do you use
__le32 as volume_serial_number?"
>From Vyacheslav Dubeyko.
I added an uuid facility for the serial number.
And sync with kernel/include/linux/f2fs_fs.h.

"You appear to have dropped i_btime - no big deal, you weren't using it anyway.
However if you ever want to support NFS export you will need some value which
is assigned when the inode is allocated and never changed until it is
de-allocated. This is used to detect when an NFS file-handle refers to a
previous incarnation of an inode and so should be rejected as STALE.
i_btime could have possibly provided this, but not any more. You might want
to add something back.
ext3 uses "i_generation" and has an 's_next_generation' in the superblock to
ensure that each new inode gets a new generation number.
You've also dropped i_atime. I can certainly understand the desire to do
that, but I wonder if it is entirely wise. There are some use-cases where
i_mtime is a poor substitute.
Also 'current_depth' looks a little odd without a 'i_' prefix. It wouldn't
hurt to have a comment noting that it is for directories."
