I guess it says it allows fdatasync to flush metatdata in order to recovery data in SPO
case.

IMO, FSYNC key word in F2FS_IPU_FSYNC means fsync path or interface name as below:
int (*fsync) (struct file *, loff_t, loff_t, int datasync);
And by default, f2fs enables F2FS_IPU_FSYNC, I didn't get why we need to disable it.
To Jaegeuk, any comments?
