Can we disable linear lookup by default, but add an option to enable it?

Sure.

It provides a way to disable linear lookup fallback during mkfs.

Usage:

1. Disable linear lookup:
mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8:hashonly /dev/vdb
dump.f2fs -d3 /dev/vdb |grep s_encoding_flags
s_encoding_flags                        [0x       2 : 2]

2. Enable linear lookup:
mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8:nohashonly /dev/vdb
dump.f2fs -d3 /dev/vdb |grep s_encoding_flags
s_encoding_flags                        [0x       0 : 0]

mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8 /dev/vdb
dump.f2fs -d3 /dev/vdb |grep s_encoding_flags
s_encoding_flags                        [0x       0 : 0]

Let me update the logic to disable linear lookup by default for case 2.2).

1)  mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8:hashonly /dev/vdb
2.1) mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8:nohashonly /dev/vdb
2.2) mkfs.f2fs -f -O casefold -C utf8 /dev/vdb

Thanks,
