Nope, GCed encrypted data wouldn't be cached in inode page cache.

I don't think adding raw code to flush data here is a good implementation,
it incurs complicated lock dependency relation. Instead, IMO, it will be
better to use inmem_lock to avoid race in between GC and atomic commit flow.

Thanks,
