> ubifs_jnl_delete_xattr() writes a group of three nodes: the xent, the
> xattr inode and the host inode. The host inode is packed at
> xent_offs + aligned_xlen + UBIFS_INO_NODE_SZ, but its TNC position is
> computed backwards as xent_offs + len - hlen. Since len includes the
> group's tail padding, ALIGN(hlen, 8) - hlen, the two differ whenever
> the host inode's inline data length is not a multiple of 8. This
> affects symlinks and device nodes.
> 
> The unaligned offset ends up in the on-flash index and the next mount
> rejects the index node, turning the filesystem read-only.

>   - shorten the commit message.
