In fact the only place where we goto free_out was there :

@ line 449:
	if (!pointed) {
		buffer = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
		if (unlikely(!buffer))
			return -ENOMEM;

		/* TODO: this is very frequent pattern, make it a separate
		 * routine */
		err = jffs2_flash_read(c, ofs, len, &retlen, buffer);
		if (err) {
			JFFS2_ERROR("can not read %d bytes from 0x%08x, error code: %d.\n", len, ofs,
err);
			goto free_out;
		}

		if (retlen != len) {
			JFFS2_ERROR("short read at %#08x: %d instead of %d.\n", ofs, retlen, len);
			err = -EIO;
			goto free_out;
		}
	}

The goto free_out was located in a if(!pointed), so the if(!pointed) in the
free_out will always be true, and c->mtd->unpoint will never be called.
