+ * @inode: inode to delete
+ *
+ * This function deletes inode @inode which includes removing it from orphans,
+ * deleting it from TNC and, in some cases, writing a deletion inode to the
+ * journal.
+ *
+ * When regular file inodes are unlinked or a directory inode is removed, the
+ * 'ubifs_jnl_update()' function writes a corresponding deletion inode and
+ * direntry to the media, and adds the inode to orphans. After this, when the
+ * last reference to this inode has been dropped, this function is called. In
+ * general, it has to write one more deletion inode to the media, because if
+ * a commit happened between 'ubifs_jnl_update()' and
+ * 'ubifs_jnl_delete_inode()', the deletion inode is not in the journal
+ * anymore, and in fact it might not be on the flash anymore, because it might
+ * have been garbage-collected already. And for optimization reasons UBIFS does
+ * not read the orphan area if it has been unmounted cleanly, so it would have
+ * no indication in the journal that there is a deleted inode which has to be
+ * removed from TNC.
+ *
+ * However, if there was no commit between 'ubifs_jnl_update()' and
+ * 'ubifs_jnl_delete_inode()', then there is no need to write the deletion
