/**
 * ubifs_garbage_collect - UBIFS garbage collector.
 * @c: UBIFS file-system description object
 * @anyway: do GC even if there are free LEBs
 *
 * This function does out-of-place garbage collection. The return codes are:
 *   o positive LEB number if the LEB has been freed and may be used;
 *   o %-EAGAIN if the caller has to run commit;
 *   o %-ENOSPC if GC failed to make any progress;
 *   o other negative error codes in case of other errors.
 *
 * Garbage collector writes data to the journal when GC'ing data LEBs, and just
 * marking indexing nodes dirty when GC'ing indexing LEBs. Thus, at some point
 * commit may be required. But commit cannot be run from inside GC, because the
 * caller might be holding the commit lock, so %-EAGAIN is returned instead;
 * And this error code means that the caller has to run commit, and re-run GC
 * if there is still no free space.
 *
 * There are many reasons why this function may return %-EAGAIN:
 * o the log is full and there is no space to write an LEB reference for
 *   @c->gc_lnum;
 * o the journal is too large and exceeds size limitations;
 * o GC moved indexing LEBs, but they can be used only after the commit;
 * o the shrinker fails to find clean znodes to free and requests the commit;
 * o etc.
 *
 * Note, if the file-system is close to be full, this function may return
 * %-EAGAIN infinitely, so the caller has to limit amount of re-invocations of
 * the function. E.g., this happens if the limits on the journal size are too
 * tough and GC writes too much to the journal before an LEB is freed. This
 * might also mean that the journal is too large, and the TNC becomes to big,
 * so that the shrinker is constantly called, finds not clean znodes to free,
 * and requests commit. Well, this may also happen if the journal is all right,
 * but another kernel process consumes too much memory. Anyway, infinite
 * %-EAGAIN may happen, but in some extreme/misconfiguration cases.
