ubi: fastmap: may_reserve_for_fm: Don't reserve PEB if fm_anchor exists
This is the part 1 to fix cyclically reusing single fastmap data PEBs. After running fsstress on UBIFS for a while, UBI (16384 blocks, fastmap takes 2 blocks) has an erase block(PEB: 8031) with big erase counter greater than any other pebs: ========================================================= from to count min avg max --------------------------------------------------------- 0 .. 9: 0 0 0 0 10 .. 99: 532 84 92 99 100 .. 999: 15787 100 147 229 1000 .. 9999: 64 4699 4765 4826 10000 .. 99999: 0 0 0 0 100000 .. inf: 1 272935 272935 272935 --------------------------------------------------------- Total : 16384 84 180 272935 Not like fm_anchor, there is no candidate PEBs for fastmap data area, so old fastmap data pebs will be reused after all free pebs are filled into pool/wl_pool: ubi_update_fastmap for (i = 1; i < new_fm->used_blocks; i++) erase_block(ubi, old_fm->e[i]->pnum) new_fm->e[i] = old_fm->e[i] According to wear leveling algorithm, UBI selects one small erase counter PEB from ubi->used and one big erase counter PEB from wl_pool, the reused fastmap data PEB is not in these trees. UBI won't schedule this PEB for wl even it is in ubi->used because wl algorithm expects small erase counter for used PEB. Don't reserve PEB for fastmap in may_reserve_for_fm() if fm_anchor already exists. Otherwise, when UBI is running out of free PEBs, the only one free PEB (pnum < 64) will be skipped and fastmap data will be written on the same old PEB.
