2.6.24-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Woodhouse We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref() (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size. But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_. Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper lock, while we're at it. Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost) pinpointing the problem.
