It's not so bad -- the whole thing looks like this (I'll follow it up
with a global s/jffs2_erase_pending_trigger/jffs2_gc_thread_trigger/).

It could perhaps be broken into smaller simple patches along the lines
of:
 - Add 'work_done' return value from jffs2_erase_pending_blocks()
 - Call jffs2_erase_pending_blocks() from jffs2_g_c_pass()
 - Fix the conditions under which jffs2_g_c_pass() will return -EINVAL,
   fix the way that jffs2_reserve_space() will respond to that, and fix
   jffs2_erase_succeeded() to actually wake up the erase_wait queue.
 - Remove locking from jffs2_garbage_collect_trigger() and require that
   callers have c->erase_completion_lock already held.
 - Change most callers of jffs2_erase_pending_trigger() to call
   jffs2_garbage_collect_trigger() instead. To comply with the locking
   rules, this may involve moving the call up or down a few lines, or
   sometimes adding a new lock/unlock pair around it.
 - Remove jffs2_erase_pending_blocks() call from jffs2_write_super().
 - Rename jffs2_erase_pending_trigger() and its only remaining caller
   in wbuf.c to jffs2_dirty_trigger().
