If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Artem Bityutskiy commit 7da6443aca9be29c6948dcbd636ad50154d0bc0c upstream. This patch fixes a debugging failure with which looks like this: UBIFS error (pid 32313): dbg_check_space_info: free space changed from 6019344 to 6022654 The reason for this failure is described in the comment this patch adds to the code. But in short - 'c->freeable_cnt' may be different before and after re-mounting, and this is normal. So the debugging code should make sure that free space calculations do not depend on 'c->freeable_cnt'. A similar issue has been reported here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-April/034647.html This patch should fix it. For the -stable guys: this patch is only relevant for kernels 2.6.30 onwards.
