I got the similar problem with orphan node handling. with this patch,
it's solved. but there are strange ones.

I boot with ubifs with ro mode. and then I remount it as rw. after
some work, I remount it as ro. at that case.
It displayed "Device busy" so I can't change the mode. Did you have any clue?

Thank you,
