Hmm, another concern comes, which is related to GCed data like below scenario.

1. Write data X
2. Sync
3. Move data X by GC
4. Checkpoint
5. Power-cut

In this case, we should guarantee data X which was migrated by GC during #3.
If we don't care about end_io in #4 Checkpoint, we can lose the data after
#5 Power-cut.

Any idea?

Thanks,
