Oh, right, the LPT subsystem contains the information about LEBs in the
main area, i.e., from LEBs number c->main_first to LEB number c->leb_cnt
- 1

The area which go _fefore_ the main are are special case.

The lprops area are LEBs from number c->lpt_first to number c->lpt_last.
For those you need to look at the ltab: 

c->ltab[lnum - c->lpt_first].free is what you need, where lnum is the
LEB number you need the amount of free space for.

For the orphans area [c->orph_first, c->orph_last] - you may to just
unmap them all, because when after mount this area does not contain any
useful data.

Master area - LEBs UBIFS_MST_LNUM and UBIFS_MST_LNUM + 1 - you know the
free space start at c->mst_offs + c->mst_node_alsz. So the amount of
used space there is c->mst_offs + c->mst_node_alsz and free space is
c->leb_size - c->mst_offs - c->mst_node_alsz; And it is the same for
both master area LEBs.

And finally the SB area (1 LEB) - you can skip this, but for
consistency, you can also fix it up. Amount of used space there is
always UBIFS_SB_NODE_SZ.
