oops, this got a lot more complicated. I will have closer look tmw.
BTW, I had a much simpler patch to start with but it was reject because
it tested for signals in erase_pending_blocks(). Look for
jffs2: Move erasing from write_super to GC.
and
jffs2: Make jffs2_erase_pending_trigger() initiate GC.
if you want to look.
