So, Qiuyang, could you try break resizefs at some key points with power-cut, to
check whether fsck can repair all corruption cases? and what is the result
(resized fs or origianl fs)?

What do you mean? We have wrapped main resizefs operaion with
{freeze,thaw}_bdev, so there should be no parallel FS operations.
