Just checked again, better ask stable maintainers. :-)

Stable maintainers, can you please make sure this patch will make it
into stable?
The upstream commit is:
4ab25ac8b2b5 ("ubifs: Fix ubifs_tnc_lookup() usage in do_kill_orphans()")

I always thought havings a Fixes-Tag is enough to make sure it will
get picked up. Isn't this the case?

Thanks,
