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.

The writev based write buffer implementation was far to complex as
in most use cases the write buffer had to be handled anyway.
Simplify the write buffer handling and use mtd->write instead.
From extensive testing no performance impact has been noted.

We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's
_always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size
so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that.

o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be
cleared.
o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for
STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC. Those flashes
disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the
new flag models their behaviour better.
o Remove MTD_ECC. After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set
and never checked.

In 2002, STMicro started producing NOR flashes with internal ECC protection
for small blocks (8 or 16 bytes). Support for those flashes was added by me.
In 2005, Intel Sibley flashes copied this strategy and Nico added support for
those. Merge the code for both.

At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit,
similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename

We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and
jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite
them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the
structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the
jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

Well, almost. We'll actually keep a 'TEST_TOTLEN' macro set for now, and keep
doing some paranoia checks to make sure it's all working correctly. But if
TEST_TOTLEN is unset, the size of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref drops from 16
bytes to 12 on 32-bit machines. That's a saving of about half a megabyte of
memory on the OLPC prototype board, with 125K or so nodes in its 512MiB of
flash.

If we had to allocate extra space for the summary node, we weren't
correctly freeing it when jffs2_sum_scan_sumnode() returned nonzero --
which is both the success and the failure case. Only when it returned
zero, which means fall through to the full scan, were we correctly freeing
the buffer.

We should preserve these when we come to garbage collect them, not let

We were calling ref_totlen() 18 times. Even before that becomes a real
function rather than just a dereference, apparently some compilers still
suck anyway. It'll _certainly_ suck after ref_totlen() becomes more

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.

Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single
data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it.
We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo).
This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as
possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and
then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first
two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it,
it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we
can expect.

If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the
structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with
that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal
on architectures like ARM.
Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any
padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that,
we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as
it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some
paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised
away completely in the normal case.

We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
picked for GC.
One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
offending nodes will be garbage collected.
The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.
