Hi
I am running kernel 3.10.
I recently saw an issue where ubi_assert(list_empty(&used)) in
ubi_attach_fastmap always hits on a partition.
Searching this issue I found
http://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs.git/commitdiff/a83832a7c8d023f446ec865926190951bd18a4b1?hp=36a87e44f642966442fd0d23f2ec536851e00236

Can you please give me a background on this patch.
Is this safe to apply without any of patches in the list
http://lwn.net/Articles/618410/
Can this occur when trying to attach an empty partition?
i.e. one that doesn't contain a UBI image.
Please let me know.
I would really appreciate any help that you can give me.
