Yeah, I have the list of commits ready a couple weeks ago:

4fda380 UBI: Dispatch update notification if the volume is updated
46a5b80 UBI: block: Add support for the UBI_VOLUME_UPDATED notification
db95429 UBI: block: Fix block device size setting
3170403 UBI: block: Avoid disk size integer overflow
b6c7b28 UBI: block: Set disk_capacity out of the mutex
1860e37 Linux 3.15

I just got delayed thinking if it was OK to pick so many commits into
stable. As an alternative,
we can mark only the ones on this patchset, namely:

4fda380 UBI: Dispatch update notification if the volume is updated
46a5b80 UBI: block: Add support for the UBI_VOLUME_UPDATED notification
db95429 UBI: block: Fix block device size setting

And I can provide a backport when the -stable people ask for one. Of
course, it's a bit more work
on everyone, so... what do you think?
