OK, details as I explained before:

atomic_commit                           GC
- file_write_and_wait_range
                                        - move_data_block
                                         - f2fs_submit_page_write
                                          - f2fs_update_data_blkaddr
                                           - set_page_dirty
 - fsync_node_pages

1. atomic writes data page #1 & update node #1
2. GC data page #2 & update node #2
3. page #1 & node #1 & #2 can be committed into nand flash before page #2 be
committed.

After a sudden pow-cut, database transaction will be inconsistent. So I think
there will be better to exclude gc/atomic_write to each other, with a lock
instead of flag checking.

Thanks,
