Hello,

here is the second round of UBIFS submission. Please, refer the following
URL if you are not familiar what is UBIFS about:

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/3/27/...

Additionally, there is a excellent introductional LWN article written by
Jonathan Corbet:
http://lwn.net/Articles/276025/
(thanks Jonathan).

We've addressed most of the requests from the first round and the following
is a rough change log:
* Store milliseconds for [mca]time stamps in the inodes, not only seconds
  (requested by Andi Kleen)
* Documentation/filesystems/ubifs.txt has been added (requested by Josh Boyer)
* do_div() is not anymore used with 'unsigned long long' values
  (requested by Andrew Morton)
* The amount of debugging-related config options was lessened and module
  parameters were introduced instead (requested by Pekka Enberg and
  Christoph Hellwig)
* Many assertions were removed (requested by Pekka Enberg)
* Some debugging checks like custom memory leak and memory pressure checks
  were removed (requested by Pekka Enberg)

Besides, several bugs were fixed both in UBIFS and mkfs.ubifs. The on-flash
format has also been changed because of the inode time-stamp format changes
(milliseconds were added).

We've got few users outside of Nokia who seem to be happy with UBIFS and
utilize it. There were some positive feed-backs from the community, e.g.
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/4/18/...
(thanks Thomas).

We kindly ask for more review and feed-back. We'd also like to get into
Andrew's mm tree.

Thank you,
Adrian Hunter
