UBIFS: Advice request on how to reduce orph_buf size

[Josselin Costanzi]

Hi,
In order to reduce UBIFS memory consumption when used in RW I'm trying to
reduce orph_buf size from one LEB to max_write_size. I changed avail_orphs and
tot_avail_orphs functions to report correct orphan counts but I'm now stuck
with the consolidate function. I don't see how I could atomically write all my
orphans in a new LEB with a max_write_size sized orph_buf. One potential
solution would be to try allocating a LEB sized buffer only when consolidating
the orphans but this means commit_orphans may now fail due to memory exhaustion.

Have any of you an idea on how to correctly do this? What would be an acceptable
solution?
