Sure but the most common and important case is good then.
in fs/ubifs/file.c we use a fixed buffer size of UBIFS_MAX_DATA_NODE_SZ
to deal with data nodes. So, dumping is safe.

If we don't know the buffer size for minor cases, not a big deal.
Still better than giving up the feature completely.

Thanks,
