Hi Tanya,

When I was trying to push this patch to my product, I reviewed this patch
and found some small problems. I wish it's not too late to report these.

The patch I get from linux-ubifs.git is amended a bit by Artem. I'd like to
quote your V5 patch for simplification. Some line numbers may mismatching.

Why the last 'pr_warn()' need to be changed into 'pr_err()'? I looked up your
V1 and V2 patches, I think it's not your purpose.

It slipped somehow. Thanks! fixed.

This patch add 'struct ubi_device *' for 3 functions. We can get 'ubi_device' from
'ubi_volume'. So I think it's because when we call these functions, the '->ubi'
pointer of 'ubi_volume' is not initialized, am I right? This patch use 'vol->ubi'
to indicate a 'struct ubi_device *' pointer in some places, I think you are sure
of using them.


1. for validate_vid_hdr() we don;t have a ubi_volume yet since its part of the attach process so we need struct ubi_device
2. for get_exclusive() - you're right. Will fetch dev number from the volume
3. for check_av() - you're right. fixed

We have the parameter 'ubi_num' for log in some functions like 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev'
before. This patch remove 'ubi_num' in upper changes but keep it in other changes.
Do we have a discussed rule to deal with this situation? It's not a big problem~

I removed it because it made no sense printing it twice:
"ubi-0: attached mtd-0 (...) to ubi0"?
so I shortned the message:
"ubi-0: attched mtd..."
All the info is still there....
Same for other messages that printed ubi number.

Here are two new adding messages. Maybe a separate patch is better? Just a
suggestion.

Done.

Artem, I know you have tried to align the message code in different lines, maybe
you can check if you lose this one.


hmmm... not sure I understand what is wrong here....


Thanks~!
