This is cleaner:

    if (!replay_file) {
        return true;
    }

    replay_mutex_lock();

    if (replay_mode == REPLAY_MODE_PLAY) {
        if (skip_async_events(EVENT_CHECKPOINT + checkpoint)) {
            replay_has_unread_data = 0;
        } else if (replay_data_kind != EVENT_ASYNC) {
            res = false;
            goto out;
        }
        replay_read_events(checkpoint);
        replay_fetch_data_kind();
        res = replay_data_kind != EVENT_ASYNC;
    } else if (replay_mode == REPLAY_MODE_RECORD) {
        replay_put_event(EVENT_CHECKPOINT + checkpoint);
        replay_save_events(checkpoint);
        res = true;
    }
out:
    replay_mutex_unlock();
    return res;

I'm not sure however of the meaning of "res = replay_data_kind !=
EVENT_ASYNC;".  Why not just return true since skip_async_events has
returned true?  Can you add a comment?

Can you explain this?  Otherwise the patch looks great.
