move_nodes() assumes that the hash is
- initialized
- updated with the commit start node
- updated with all reference nodes before the one that point into
the current LEB
- updated with the reference node pointing to the current LEB
To make that more clear here is the overall life cycle of the auth hashes:
Everything starts in ubifs_log_start_commit(). We initialize the global
log hash and update it with the commit start node:
> ubifs_shash_init(c->log_hash);
> ubifs_shash_update(c, c->log_hash, cs, UBIFS_CS_NODE_SZ);
Afterwards still in ubifs_log_start_commit() ref nodes are created for
each journal head. We update the global log hash with the reference
nodes and copy the current state into each journal heads log hash:

>From here on each journal head has its own log hash derived from the
global log hash. Whenever something is written to a journal head we
update the hash of that journal head. For the garbage collector this
happens in gc.c move_nodes():

For the base head and data head this happens in journal.c write_head():
> ubifs_hash_nodes(c, buf, len, c->jheads[jhead].log_hash);
Whenever we want to write an auth node we can now call
ubifs_prepare_auth_node() with a journal heads current log hash state.
This creates us a suitable auth node with the correct hash. The trick
here is that not the hash state is finalized, but a copy thereof, so the
hash state can be continued to use.
The final interesting thing happens when a journal head is switched to a
new LEB in ubifs_add_bud_to_log(). We update the global log hash with the
newly created reference node and again the state is copied to the journal
heads log hash:
> ubifs_shash_update(c, c->log_hash, ref, UBIFS_REF_NODE_SZ);
> ubifs_shash_copy_state(c, c->log_hash, c->jheads[jhead].log_hash);
I hope that makes it more clear.
