JFFS2 - how does the new page allocated?

I'm currently analyzing the structure of JFFS2, for research reason.
I have a simple question,

When JFFS2 allocates a new page to store the newly entering data, how
does it select the new page? Does it allocate a new block for each new
page request, or does it intelligently reuse the dirty marked page first
to be more space efficient? I would like to get some hints on how JFFS2
provisions pages and blocks..
