Thanks, pushed to ubi-2.6.git tree with slightly amended commit message:

    UBI: fix input parameters check in gluebi

    size_t `len' is unsigned `len < 0' always fails.
    `from' and `to' have type loff_t (signed). During the addition `len' is
    converted to signed. So when `len' is negative `from + len` can be
    less than `mtd->size' while `from' is larger than `mtd->size'. This
    patch fixes this.
