I'm building a custom kernel for Android, but I want to replace Motorola's F2FS implementation with that of upstream Linux, which is unaffected by a certain bug present in the former.
I dont know a lot about C programming and do not understand very well what goes on within the Linux kernel, but I've successfully built custom kernels for my own use in the past, and I wonder if I should just replace the F2FS headers, make files and C files and try to build it or if there's a specific way of doing this without having to merge the entire kernel or cherry pick every commit related to F2FS on upstream Linux.
