3 - support asynchronous operation -- add a per-fs 'reserved_space' count,
4 let each outstanding write reserve the _maximum_ amount of physical
5 space it could take. Let GC flush the outstanding writes because the
6 reservations will necessarily be pessimistic. With this we could even
7 do shared writable mmap, if we can have a fs hook for do_wp_page() to
9 - disable compression in commit_write()?
10 - fine-tune the allocation / GC thresholds
11 - chattr support - turning on/off and tuning compression per-inode
12 - checkpointing (do we need this? scan is quite fast)
13 - make the scan code populate real inodes so read_inode just after
14 mount doesn't have to read the flash twice for large files.
15 Make this a per-inode option, changable with chattr, so you can
16 decide which inodes should be in-core immediately after mount.
21 - use bad block check instead of the hardwired byte check
24 - Split writes so they go to two separate blocks rather than just c->nextblock.
25 By writing _new_ nodes to one block, and garbage-collected REF_PRISTINE
26 nodes to a different one, we can separate clean nodes from those which
27 are likely to become dirty, and end up with blocks which are each far
28 closer to 100% or 0% clean, hence speeding up later GC progress dramatically.
29 - Stop keeping name in-core with struct jffs2_full_dirent. If we keep the hash in
30 the full dirent, we only need to go to the flash in lookup() when we think we've
31 got a match, and in readdir().
32 - Doubly-linked next_in_ino list to allow us to free obsoleted raw_node_refs immediately?
33 - Remove totlen from jffs2_raw_node_ref? Need to have totlen passed into
34 jffs2_mark_node_obsolete(). Can all callers work it out?
35 - Remove size from jffs2_raw_node_frag.
38 1. __jffs2_flush_wbuf() has a strange 'pad' parameter. Eliminate.
39 2. get_sb()->build_fs()->scan() path... Why get_sb() removes scan()'s crap in
40 case of failure? scan() does not clean everything. Fix.
