Hi Linus,

 6 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)

These all are fix-only patches of course.

The most important one is
UBIFS: create the name of the background thread in every case
reported here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-September/022964.html

The
UBIFS: TNC / GC race fixes
problem was not publically reported, but was found and fixed by us
in Nokia.

These:
UBIFS: remove incorrect assert
UBIFS: fix printk format warnings
are just tiny fixes, which affect only UBIFS debugging mode,
but it would be nice to have them in 2.6.27 as well.

Thanks.
