There is something odd with current code:
	next = tn_root->rb_node;

	while (next) {
		tn = rb_entry(next, struct jffs2_tmp_dnode_info, rb);

		if (tn->fn->ofs < offset)
			next = tn->rb.rb_right;
		else if (tn->fn->ofs >= offset)
			next = tn->rb.rb_left;
		else
			break;
	}

The else break; is never reached so the above change makes the break work for ==
Weather this is correct or not I cannot say.
