[PATCH] jffs2: Move erasing from write_super to GC.

Joakim Tjernlund
2010-02-15T07:40:33Z

Erasing blocks is a form of GC and therefore it should live in the
GC task. By moving it there two problems will be solved:
1) unmounting will not hang until all pending blocks has
been erased.
2) Erasing can be paused by sending a SIGSTOP to the GC thread which
allowes for time critical tasks to work in peace.

Since erasing now is in the GC thread, erases should trigger
the GC task instead.
wbuf.c still wants to flush its buffer via write_super so
invent jffs2_dirty_trigger() and use that in wbuf.
Remove surplus call to jffs2_erase_pending_trigger() in erase.c
and remove jffs2_garbage_collect_trigger() from write_super as
of now write_super() should only commit dirty data to disk.
