+ * full inode sync:
+ *
+ * 1) We log an extent after its writeback finishes but before its
+ * checksums are added to the csum tree, leading to -EIO errors
+ * when attempting to read the extent after a log replay.
+ *
+ * 2) We can end up logging an extent before its writeback finishes.
+ * Therefore after the log replay we will have a file extent item
+ * pointing to an unwritten extent (and no data checksums as well).
+ *
+ * So trigger writeback for any eventual new dirty pages and then we
+ * wait for all ordered extents to complete below.
