Your change is unconditionally waiting the condition. However, if it
doesn't need the checksum or such, later overwrite will fix temporary
corruption.

And the issue would not be only that function. All metadata would be
target of same issue. Also, no need to wait whole page, just a buffer.

Thanks.
