Hi Richard,
Could you CC this patch to stable? It fixes a serious problem that I am seeing on real devices (i.e. Linux not being able to mount its root filesystem after a power cut). Thanks.
Just checked again, better ask stable maintainers. :-)
Stable maintainers, can you please make sure this patch will make it into stable? The upstream commit is: 4ab25ac8b2b5 ("ubifs: Fix ubifs_tnc_lookup() usage in do_kill_orphans()")
I always thought havings a Fixes-Tag is enough to make sure it will get picked up. Isn't this the case?
Thanks, //richard

Orphans are allowed to point to deleted inodes. So -ENOENT is not a fatal error.

No it is not, please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
Our scripts are doing better to dig out stuff where maintainers mess up and forget to put the cc: stable tag, but you can never rely on it. Please stick with the above rules that have been there for 15+ years :)
thanks,
