My concern is, if cow_inode's data was persisted into previous checkpoint,
and then f2fs_replace_block() will update SSA from cow_inode to inode?
it will cause inconsistent status of last valid checkpoint? Or am I mssing
something?

It doesn't need to handle failure of f2fs_kmem_cache_alloc()
due to nofail parameter is true.

Thanks,
