Looks not very stable.

Minor, {commit,sync}_checkpoint will be OK to me, since we will decide to
keep barrier in more deep places according to NOBARRIER mount option,
instead of this function.

f2fs_bug_on(sbi, PageWriteback(page));
f2fs_bug_on(sbi, unlikely(!clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)));

Please keep defined terms as the same in all places:

s/cp page2/cp pack 2 page

How about f2fs_bug_on(sbi, err), since we should not fail in
__f2fs_write_meta_page, right?

/* wait for previous submitted meta pages writeback */
if (!test_opt(sbi, NOBARRIER)
        wait_on_all_pages_writeback(sbi);
