Why erase_pending_blocks in write_super? (was: [PATCH] JFFS2: Erase max 3 EB's in ...)

[Kai-Uwe Bloem]

Hi,

I have been in touch with Joakim and Artem about this for some mails, but now I would like to ask the jffs2 experts about this.

Is jffs2_erase_pending_blocks real the right thing to do in jffs_write_super?

First, there's nothing like a super block in JFFS2, and the linux kernel's VFS documentation states that jffs2_write_super is an optional method. Hence, I think it's not technically necessary to have this method for jffs2.
