Sascha Hauer 1e76592f2c ubifs: Do not update inode size in-place in authenticated mode
In authenticated mode we cannot fixup the inode sizes in-place
during recovery as this would invalidate the hashes and HMACs
we stored for this inode.

Instead, we just write the updated inodes to the journal. We can
only do this after ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit() is done though, so for
authenticated mode call ubifs_recover_size() after
ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit() and not vice versa as normally done.

Calling ubifs_recover_size() after ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit() has the
drawback that after a commit the size fixup information is gone, so
when a powercut happens while recovering from another powercut
we may lose some data written right before the first powercut.
This is why we only do this in authenticated mode and leave the
behaviour for unauthenticated mode untouched.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
