As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.
Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing
it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead.
This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with
xattr_datum and xattr_ref structures -- we should find a nicer way of
dealing with that.

We can't use jffs2_scan_dirty_space() because it doesn't do any locking; it's
only for use at scan time -- hence the 'scan' in the name.
Also, don't allocate refs while we have c->erase_completion_lock held.

We don't allocate this locally any more -- it's given to us and owner by
our caller. Also improve the debug messages a little.

Make sure we allocate a ref for any dirty space which exists between nodes
which we find in an eraseblock summary.

To eliminate the __totlen field from struct jffs2_raw_node_ref, we need
to allocate nodes for dirty space instead of just tweaking the accounting
data. Introduce jffs2_scan_dirty_space() in preparation for that.

For RWCOMPAT and ROCOMPAT nodes, we should still allow the mount to
succeed. Just abandon the summary and fall through to the full scan.

We should preserve these when we come to garbage collect them, not let
them get erased. Use jffs2_garbage_collect_pristine() for this, and make
sure the summary code copes -- just refrain from writing a summary for any
block which contains a node we don't understand.

The same sequence of code was repeated in many places, to add a new
struct jffs2_raw_node_ref to an eraseblock and adjust the space accounting
accordingly. Move it out-of-line.

This improves the time to mount 512MiB of NAND flash on my OLPC prototype
by about 4%. We used to read the last page of the eraseblock twice -- once
to find the offset of the summary node, and again to actually _read_ the
summary node. Now we read the last page only once, and read more only if
we need to.
We also don't allocate a new buffer just for the summary code -- we use
the buffer which was already allocated for the scan. Better still, if the
'buffer' for the scan is actually just a pointer directly into NOR flash,
we use that too, avoiding the memcpy() which we used to do.

When jffs2_sum_process_sum_data() found a JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR
which has duplicate xid and older version, an error was returned
without appropriate process.
In the result, mounting filesystem is failed.
This patch fix this problem. If jffs2_setup_xattr_datum() returned
-EEXIST, the caller marks this node as DIRTY_SPACE().

This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

Reduce the nr. of pointer dereferences in fs/jffs2/summary.c
Benefits:
- micro speed optimization due to fewer pointer derefs
- generated code is slightly smaller
- better readability
(The first two sound like a compiler problem but I'll go with the third. dwmw2).

The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS)
stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is
no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them)
just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is
needed at mount time.
This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During
the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will
be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too.
There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary
information for a JFFS2 image.
