Steps

1. Write recovery file and set flags if needed
2. Update data and mht nodes if needed
3. Update meta data node and update flags
4. Write data to the disk

• Perform the actual data write in protected_fs_file::write_all_changes_to_disk.
• LRU cache is used here for performance.

bool protected_fs_file::internal_flush(/*bool mc,*/ bool flush_to_disk)
{
	if (need_writing == false) // no changes at all
		return true;

	if (encrypted_part_plain.size > MD_USER_DATA_SIZE && root_mht.need_writing == true) // otherwise it's just one write - the meta-data node
	{
		if (_RECOVERY_HOOK_(0) || write_recovery_file() != true)
		{
			file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_FLUSH_ERROR;
			return false;
		}

		if (_RECOVERY_HOOK_(1) || set_update_flag(flush_to_disk) != true)
		{
			file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_FLUSH_ERROR;
			return false;
		}

		if (_RECOVERY_HOOK_(2) || update_all_data_and_mht_nodes() != true)
		{
			clear_update_flag();
			file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_CRYPTO_ERROR; // this is something that shouldn't happen, can't fix this...
			return false;
		}
	}

	if (_RECOVERY_HOOK_(3) || update_meta_data_node() != true)
	{
		clear_update_flag();
		file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_CRYPTO_ERROR; // this is something that shouldn't happen, can't fix this...
		return false;
	}

	if (_RECOVERY_HOOK_(4) || write_all_changes_to_disk(flush_to_disk) != true)
	{
		//if (mc == false)
			file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DISK_FAILED; // special case, need only to repeat write_all_changes_to_disk in order to repair it
		//else
			//file_status = SGX_FILE_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DISK_FAILED_NEED_MC; // special case, need to repeat write_all_changes_to_disk AND increase the monotonic counter in order to repair it

		return false;
	}

	need_writing = false;

	return true;
