[PATCH] UBIFS: use anonymous device

[Artem Bityutskiy]

Hi,

here is a patch which fixes a minor UBIFS issues spotted
by Al Viro. I'm going to push it to ubifs-2.6.git.


From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy at nokia.com>
Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: use anonymous device

UBIFS has erroneuosly set 'sb->s_dev' to the UBI volume
character device major/minor. This may lead to clashes
if there is another FS mounted to a block device with
the same major/minor numbers. User-space programs which
use 'stat->st_dev' may get confused because of this.

This problem was spotted by Al Viro. He also pointed the
way to fix the problem - use 'set_anon_super()' and
'kill_anon_super()' VFS helpers.
