No, just follow the old rule.

Oh, so for current rule, during checkpoint it:
1. allows updating meta info of inode which is not related to metadata of
filesystem (e.g. i_size, i_block, i_nlink..)
2. does not allow updating meta info of inode which is related to metadata of
filesystem (i_addr, i_nid..)

Is my understanding right?
