Subject[PATCH] [17/106] UBIFS: do not read flash unnecessarily
Date
2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

commit 8b229c76765816796eec7ccd428f03bd8de8b525 upstream.

This fix makes the 'dbg_check_old_index()' function return
immediately if debugging is disabled, instead of executing
incorrect 'goto out' which causes UBIFS to:

1. Allocate memory
2. Read the flash

On every commit. OK, we do not commit that often, but it is
still silly to do unneeded I/O anyway.

Credits to coverity for spotting this silly issue.
