    [JFFS2] Improve getdents vs. f_pos handling on NOR flash. · 15953580

     started obliterating
    dirents directly on the medium, when jffs2_can_mark_obsolete(). Removing
    them immediately from the f->dents list, however, screws up handling of
    f_pos within a directory -- because the offset is equivalent to the
    number of entries through the list we are, and the existence of
    deletion dirents served to provide 'placeholders' for unlinked
    entries. Now, 'rm -r' doesn't even manage to unlink everything in the
    directory.
    
    Revert to keeping 'deletion' dirents in the list, at least in memory
    even though we no longer write anything to the medium.
