Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: don't ignore writing pages on fsync during
 checkpoint=disable

We must flush all the dirty data when enabling checkpoint back. Let's guarantee
that first. In order to mitigate any failure, let's flush data in fsync as well
during checkpoint=disable.

 - handle sync_inodes_sb() failure
