I think its the right time to sync the UBI code with the current kernel
tree. But it seems like a huge work. Any suggestions?
Yes, syncing with the latest UBI/UBIFS code would be the best solution.
Even though a try with an increased malloc area as suggested by Andreas
might be a chance.
And yes, this re-sync with the latest-and-greatest Linux code version is
of course a bigger task. It has been suggest as part of booting from an
UBI volume task to the celinux forum:
http://lists.celinuxforum.org/pipermail/celinux-dev/2012-April/000543.html
Yeah. I had queried sometime back on the activity of this task.
But nothing has happened till now. Any volunteers? But please keep in
mind that intensive testing is required before the current (stable?)
code version can be replaced.
Looks like the MTD layer might needs to be patched up as well at some
places. What do you think?
May be we shall start some discussions and put forth some ideas, which
might eventually invite some volunteers.
What is your proposal of syncing with the latest code?
* Pick out changes from the Kernel's git (pick out UBI related commits
right from the point where current u-boot code is)
* Compare and move the code
Both are equally complicated with the second option having very less
chance to figure out why that was added. Ideas are welcome.

Vikram
