In one of the logs, I have noticed there were ~400 recovery prints in the
kernel bootup. I noticed your patch above and with that now we can always get
the error returned by f2fs_recover_fsync_data(), which should be good enough
for knowing the status of recovered files I thought. Do you think we need
individually each file status as well?

Thanks,
