    UBI: do not switch to R/O mode on read errors · b86a2c56
    Artem Bityutskiy authored
    This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
    R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
    This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
    chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
    This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
    like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
    WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
    again.
    
    But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
    If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
    
    Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
    switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
    target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
    the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
    
    The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
    into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.
