+menuconfig MTD_UBI
+	tristate "Enable UBI - Unsorted block images"
+	select CRC32
+	help
+	  UBI is a software layer above MTD layer which admits of LVM-like
+	  logical volumes on top of MTD devices, hides some complexities of
+	  flash chips like wear and bad blocks and provides some other useful
+	  capabilities. Please, consult the MTD web site for more details
+	  (www.linux-mtd.infradead.org).
+
+if MTD_UBI
+
+config MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
+	int "UBI wear-leveling threshold"
+	default 4096
+	range 2 65536
+	help
+	  This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
+	  erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
+	  of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
+	  wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
+	  counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
+
+	  The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
+	  other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
+	  However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
+	  life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
+	  to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
+
+config MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
+	int "Maximum expected bad eraseblock count per 1024 eraseblocks"
+	default 20
+	range 0 768
+	help
+	  This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
+	  expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the underlying
+	  flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR flash), this value
+	  is ignored.
+
+	  NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM (Number of
+	  Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. The maximum
+	  expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks then can be calculated
+	  as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", which gives 20 for most NANDs
+	  (MaxNVB is basically the total count of eraseblocks on the chip).
+
+	  To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to reserve
+	  about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks handling. And that
+	  will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire NAND chip, not just the MTD
+	  partition UBI attaches. This means that if you have, say, a NAND
+	  flash chip admits maximum 40 bad eraseblocks, and it is split on two
+	  MTD partitions of the same size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when
+	  attaching a partition.
+
+	  This option can be overridden by the "mtd=" UBI module parameter or
+	  by the "attach" ioctl.
+
+	  Leave the default value if unsure.
+
+config MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
+	bool "UBI Fastmap (Experimental feature)"
+	default n
+	help
+	   Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
+	   format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
+
+	   Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
+	   in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
+	   only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
+	   The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
+	   the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
+	   attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
+	   a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI module parameter
+	   fm_autoconvert to 1 if you want so. Please note that fastmap-enabled
+	   images are still usable with UBI implementations without
+	   fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap fits
+	   into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
+
+	   If in doubt, say "N".
+
+config MTD_UBI_GLUEBI
+	tristate "MTD devices emulation driver (gluebi)"
+	help
+	   This option enables gluebi - an additional driver which emulates MTD
+	   devices on top of UBI volumes: for each UBI volumes an MTD device is
+	   created, and all I/O to this MTD device is redirected to the UBI
+	   volume. This is handy to make MTD-oriented software (like JFFS2)
+	   work on top of UBI. Do not enable this unless you use legacy
+	   software.
+
+config MTD_UBI_BLOCK
+	bool "Read-only block devices on top of UBI volumes"
+	default n
+	depends on BLOCK
+	help
+	   This option enables read-only UBI block devices support. UBI block
+	   devices will be layered on top of UBI volumes, which means that the
+	   UBI driver will transparently handle things like bad eraseblocks and
+	   bit-flips. You can put any block-oriented file system on top of UBI
+	   volumes in read-only mode (e.g., ext4), but it is probably most
+	   practical for read-only file systems, like squashfs.
+
+	   When selected, this feature will be built in the UBI driver.
+
+	   If in doubt, say "N".

+ * UBI attaching sub-system.
+ *
+ * This sub-system is responsible for attaching MTD devices and it also
+ * implements flash media scanning.
+ *
+ * The attaching information is represented by a &struct ubi_attach_info'
+ * object. Information about volumes is represented by &struct ubi_ainf_volume
+ * objects which are kept in volume RB-tree with root at the @volumes field.
+ * The RB-tree is indexed by the volume ID.
+ *
+ * Logical eraseblocks are represented by &struct ubi_ainf_peb objects. These
+ * objects are kept in per-volume RB-trees with the root at the corresponding
+ * &struct ubi_ainf_volume object. To put it differently, we keep an RB-tree of
+ * per-volume objects and each of these objects is the root of RB-tree of
+ * per-LEB objects.
+ *
+ * Corrupted physical eraseblocks are put to the @corr list, free physical
+ * eraseblocks are put to the @free list and the physical eraseblock to be
+ * erased are put to the @erase list.
+ *
+ * About corruptions
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * UBI protects EC and VID headers with CRC-32 checksums, so it can detect
+ * whether the headers are corrupted or not. Sometimes UBI also protects the
+ * data with CRC-32, e.g., when it executes the atomic LEB change operation, or
+ * when it moves the contents of a PEB for wear-leveling purposes.
+ *
+ * UBI tries to distinguish between 2 types of corruptions.
+ *
+ * 1. Corruptions caused by power cuts. These are expected corruptions and UBI
+ * tries to handle them gracefully, without printing too many warnings and
+ * error messages. The idea is that we do not lose important data in these
+ * cases - we may lose only the data which were being written to the media just
+ * before the power cut happened, and the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) are
+ * supposed to handle such data losses (e.g., by using the FS journal).
+ *
+ * When UBI detects a corruption (CRC-32 mismatch) in a PEB, and it looks like
+ * the reason is a power cut, UBI puts this PEB to the @erase list, and all
+ * PEBs in the @erase list are scheduled for erasure later.
+ *
+ * 2. Unexpected corruptions which are not caused by power cuts. During
+ * attaching, such PEBs are put to the @corr list and UBI preserves them.
+ * Obviously, this lessens the amount of available PEBs, and if at some  point
+ * UBI runs out of free PEBs, it switches to R/O mode. UBI also loudly informs
+ * about such PEBs every time the MTD device is attached.
+ *
+ * However, it is difficult to reliably distinguish between these types of
+ * corruptions and UBI's strategy is as follows (in case of attaching by
+ * scanning). UBI assumes corruption type 2 if the VID header is corrupted and
+ * the data area does not contain all 0xFFs, and there were no bit-flips or
+ * integrity errors (e.g., ECC errors in case of NAND) while reading the data
+ * area.  Otherwise UBI assumes corruption type 1. So the decision criteria
+ * are as follows.
+ *   o If the data area contains only 0xFFs, there are no data, and it is safe
+ *     to just erase this PEB - this is corruption type 1.
+ *   o If the data area has bit-flips or data integrity errors (ECC errors on
+ *     NAND), it is probably a PEB which was being erased when power cut
+ *     happened, so this is corruption type 1. However, this is just a guess,
+ *     which might be wrong.
+ *   o Otherwise this is corruption type 2.

+ *
+ * The EBA sub-system implements per-logical eraseblock locking. Before
+ * accessing a logical eraseblock it is locked for reading or writing. The
+ * per-logical eraseblock locking is implemented by means of the lock tree. The
+ * lock tree is an RB-tree which refers all the currently locked logical
+ * eraseblocks. The lock tree elements are &struct ubi_ltree_entry objects.
+ * They are indexed by (@vol_id, @lnum) pairs.
+ *
+ * EBA also maintains the global sequence counter which is incremented each
+ * time a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock and it is
+ * stored in the volume identifier header. This means that each VID header has
+ * a unique sequence number. The sequence number is only increased an we assume
+ * 64 bits is enough to never overflow.

+/*
+ * UBI input/output sub-system.
+ *
+ * This sub-system provides a uniform way to work with all kinds of the
+ * underlying MTD devices. It also implements handy functions for reading and
+ * writing UBI headers.
+ *
+ * We are trying to have a paranoid mindset and not to trust to what we read
+ * from the flash media in order to be more secure and robust. So this
+ * sub-system validates every single header it reads from the flash media.
+ *
+ * Some words about how the eraseblock headers are stored.
+ *
+ * The erase counter header is always stored at offset zero. By default, the
+ * VID header is stored after the EC header at the closest aligned offset
+ * (i.e. aligned to the minimum I/O unit size). Data starts next to the VID
+ * header at the closest aligned offset. But this default layout may be
+ * changed. For example, for different reasons (e.g., optimization) UBI may be
+ * asked to put the VID header at further offset, and even at an unaligned
+ * offset. Of course, if the offset of the VID header is unaligned, UBI adds
+ * proper padding in front of it. Data offset may also be changed but it has to
+ * be aligned.
+ *
+ * About minimal I/O units. In general, UBI assumes flash device model where
+ * there is only one minimal I/O unit size. E.g., in case of NOR flash it is 1,
+ * in case of NAND flash it is a NAND page, etc. This is reported by MTD in the
+ * @ubi->mtd->writesize field. But as an exception, UBI admits of using another
+ * (smaller) minimal I/O unit size for EC and VID headers to make it possible
+ * to do different optimizations.
+ *
+ * This is extremely useful in case of NAND flashes which admit of several
+ * write operations to one NAND page. In this case UBI can fit EC and VID
+ * headers at one NAND page. Thus, UBI may use "sub-page" size as the minimal
+ * I/O unit for the headers (the @ubi->hdrs_min_io_size field). But it still
+ * reports NAND page size (@ubi->min_io_size) as a minimal I/O unit for the UBI
+ * users.
+ *
+ * Example: some Samsung NANDs with 2KiB pages allow 4x 512-byte writes, so
+ * although the minimal I/O unit is 2K, UBI uses 512 bytes for EC and VID
+ * headers.
+ *
+ * Q: why not just to treat sub-page as a minimal I/O unit of this flash
+ * device, e.g., make @ubi->min_io_size = 512 in the example above?
+ *
+ * A: because when writing a sub-page, MTD still writes a full 2K page but the
+ * bytes which are not relevant to the sub-page are 0xFF. So, basically,
+ * writing 4x512 sub-pages is 4 times slower than writing one 2KiB NAND page.
+ * Thus, we prefer to use sub-pages only for EC and VID headers.
+ *
+ * As it was noted above, the VID header may start at a non-aligned offset.
+ * For example, in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with a 512 bytes sub-page,
+ * the VID header may reside at offset 1984 which is the last 64 bytes of the
+ * last sub-page (EC header is always at offset zero). This causes some
+ * difficulties when reading and writing VID headers.
+ *
+ * Suppose we have a 64-byte buffer and we read a VID header at it. We change
+ * the data and want to write this VID header out. As we can only write in
+ * 512-byte chunks, we have to allocate one more buffer and copy our VID header
+ * to offset 448 of this buffer.
+ *
+ * The I/O sub-system does the following trick in order to avoid this extra
+ * copy. It always allocates a @ubi->vid_hdr_alsize bytes buffer for the VID
+ * header and returns a pointer to offset @ubi->vid_hdr_shift of this buffer.
+ * When the VID header is being written out, it shifts the VID header pointer
+ * back and writes the whole sub-page.

+ * Unlike erase, the un-map operation does not guarantee that the logical

+ * example, if several logical eraseblocks are un-mapped, and an unclean reboot
+ * happens after this, the logical eraseblocks will not necessarily be
+ * un-mapped again when this MTD device is attached. They may actually be
+ * mapped to the same physical eraseblocks again. So, this function has to be

+ *
+ * In other words, when un-mapping a logical eraseblock, UBI does not store
+ * any information about this on the flash media, it just marks the logical
+ * eraseblock as "un-mapped" in RAM. If UBI is detached before the physical
+ * eraseblock is physically erased, it will be mapped again to the same logical
+ * eraseblock when the MTD device is attached again.
+ *
+ * The main and obvious use-case of this function is when the contents of a
+ * logical eraseblock has to be re-written. Then it is much more efficient to
+ * first un-map it, then write new data, rather than first erase it, then write
+ * new data. Note, once new data has been written to the logical eraseblock,
+ * UBI guarantees that the old contents has gone forever. In other words, if an

+ * then written to, it will contain the last written data.

+ * the volume to be of largest possible size. This means that if after the
+ * initialization UBI finds out that there are available physical eraseblocks
+ * present on the device, it automatically appends all of them to the volume
+ * (the physical eraseblocks reserved for bad eraseblocks handling and other
+ * reserved physical eraseblocks are not taken). So, if there is a volume with
+ * the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG flag set, the amount of available logical
+ * eraseblocks will be zero after UBI is loaded, because all of them will be
+ * reserved for this volume. Note, the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG bit is cleared
+ * after the volume had been initialized.
+ *
+ * The auto-resize feature is useful for device production purposes. For
+ * example, different NAND flash chips may have different amount of initial bad
+ * eraseblocks, depending of particular chip instance. Manufacturers of NAND
+ * chips usually guarantee that the amount of initial bad eraseblocks does not
+ * exceed certain percent, e.g. 2%. When one creates an UBI image which will be
+ * flashed to the end devices in production, he does not know the exact amount
+ * of good physical eraseblocks the NAND chip on the device will have, but this
+ * number is required to calculate the volume sized and put them to the volume
+ * table of the UBI image. In this case, one of the volumes (e.g., the one
+ * which will store the root file system) is marked as "auto-resizable", and
+ * UBI will adjust its size on the first boot if needed.
+ *
+ * Note, first UBI reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks for bad
+ * eraseblock handling, and then re-sizes the volume, not vice-versa. This
+ * means that the pool of reserved physical eraseblocks will always be present.

+ * @padding2: reserved for future, zeroes
+ * @sqnum: sequence number
+ * @padding3: reserved for future, zeroes
+ * @hdr_crc: volume identifier header CRC checksum
+ *
+ * The @sqnum is the value of the global sequence counter at the time when this
+ * VID header was created. The global sequence counter is incremented each time
+ * UBI writes a new VID header to the flash, i.e. when it maps a logical
+ * eraseblock to a new physical eraseblock. The global sequence counter is an
+ * unsigned 64-bit integer and we assume it never overflows. The @sqnum
+ * (sequence number) is used to distinguish between older and newer versions of
+ * logical eraseblocks.
+ *
+ * There are 2 situations when there may be more than one physical eraseblock
+ * corresponding to the same logical eraseblock, i.e., having the same @vol_id
+ * and @lnum values in the volume identifier header. Suppose we have a logical
+ * eraseblock L and it is mapped to the physical eraseblock P.
+ *
+ * 1. Because UBI may erase physical eraseblocks asynchronously, the following
+ * situation is possible: L is asynchronously erased, so P is scheduled for
+ * erasure, then L is written to,i.e. mapped to another physical eraseblock P1,
+ * so P1 is written to, then an unclean reboot happens. Result - there are 2
+ * physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to the same logical eraseblock
+ * L. But P1 has greater sequence number, so UBI picks P1 when it attaches the
+ * flash.
+ *
+ * 2. From time to time UBI moves logical eraseblocks to other physical
+ * eraseblocks for wear-leveling reasons. If, for example, UBI moves L from P
+ * to P1, and an unclean reboot happens before P is physically erased, there
+ * are two physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to L and UBI has to
+ * select one of them when the flash is attached. The @sqnum field says which
+ * PEB is the original (obviously P will have lower @sqnum) and the copy. But
+ * it is not enough to select the physical eraseblock with the higher sequence
+ * number, because the unclean reboot could have happen in the middle of the
+ * copying process, so the data in P is corrupted. It is also not enough to
+ * just select the physical eraseblock with lower sequence number, because the
+ * data there may be old (consider a case if more data was added to P1 after
+ * the copying). Moreover, the unclean reboot may happen when the erasure of P
+ * was just started, so it result in unstable P, which is "mostly" OK, but
+ * still has unstable bits.
+ *
+ * UBI uses the @copy_flag field to indicate that this logical eraseblock is a
+ * copy. UBI also calculates data CRC when the data is moved and stores it at
+ * the @data_crc field of the copy (P1). So when UBI needs to pick one physical
+ * eraseblock of two (P or P1), the @copy_flag of the newer one (P1) is
+ * examined. If it is cleared, the situation* is simple and the newer one is
+ * picked. If it is set, the data CRC of the copy (P1) is examined. If the CRC
+ * checksum is correct, this physical eraseblock is selected (P1). Otherwise
+ * the older one (P) is selected.
+ *
+ * There are 2 sorts of volumes in UBI: user volumes and internal volumes.
+ * Internal volumes are not seen from outside and are used for various internal
+ * UBI purposes. In this implementation there is only one internal volume - the
+ * layout volume. Internal volumes are the main mechanism of UBI extensions.
+ * For example, in future one may introduce a journal internal volume. Internal
+ * volumes have their own reserved range of IDs.
+ *
+ * The @compat field is only used for internal volumes and contains the "degree
+ * of their compatibility". It is always zero for user volumes. This field
+ * provides a mechanism to introduce UBI extensions and to be still compatible
+ * with older UBI binaries. For example, if someone introduced a journal in
+ * future, he would probably use %UBI_COMPAT_DELETE compatibility for the
+ * journal volume.  And in this case, older UBI binaries, which know nothing
+ * about the journal volume, would just delete this volume and work perfectly
+ * fine. This is similar to what Ext2fs does when it is fed by an Ext3fs image
+ * - it just ignores the Ext3fs journal.
+ *
+ * The @data_crc field contains the CRC checksum of the contents of the logical
+ * eraseblock if this is a static volume. In case of dynamic volumes, it does
+ * not contain the CRC checksum as a rule. The only exception is when the
+ * data of the physical eraseblock was moved by the wear-leveling sub-system,
+ * then the wear-leveling sub-system calculates the data CRC and stores it in
+ * the @data_crc field. And of course, the @copy_flag is %in this case.
+ *
+ * The @data_size field is used only for static volumes because UBI has to know
+ * how many bytes of data are stored in this eraseblock. For dynamic volumes,
+ * this field usually contains zero. The only exception is when the data of the
+ * physical eraseblock was moved to another physical eraseblock for
+ * wear-leveling reasons. In this case, UBI calculates CRC checksum of the
+ * contents and uses both @data_crc and @data_size fields. In this case, the
+ * @data_size field contains data size.
+ *
+ * The @used_ebs field is used only for static volumes and indicates how many
+ * eraseblocks the data of the volume takes. For dynamic volumes this field is
+ * not used and always contains zero.
+ *
+ * The @data_pad is calculated when volumes are created using the alignment
+ * parameter. So, effectively, the @data_pad field reduces the size of logical
+ * eraseblocks of this volume. This is very handy when one uses block-oriented
+ * software (say, cramfs) on top of the UBI volume.

+ * This file includes volume table manipulation code. The volume table is an
+ * on-flash table containing volume meta-data like name, number of reserved
+ * physical eraseblocks, type, etc. The volume table is stored in the so-called
+ * "layout volume".
+ *
+ * The layout volume is an internal volume which is organized as follows. It
+ * consists of two logical eraseblocks - LEB 0 and LEB 1. Each logical
+ * eraseblock stores one volume table copy, i.e. LEB 0 and LEB 1 duplicate each
+ * other. This redundancy guarantees robustness to unclean reboots. The volume
+ * table is basically an array of volume table records. Each record contains
+ * full information about the volume and protected by a CRC checksum. Note,
+ * nowadays we use the atomic LEB change operation when updating the volume
+ * table, so we do not really need 2 LEBs anymore, but we preserve the older
+ * design for the backward compatibility reasons.
+ *
+ * When the volume table is changed, it is first changed in RAM. Then LEB 0 is
+ * erased, and the updated volume table is written back to LEB 0. Then same for
+ * LEB 1. This scheme guarantees recoverability from unclean reboots.
+ *
+ * In this UBI implementation the on-flash volume table does not contain any
+ * information about how much data static volumes contain.
+ *
+ * But it would still be beneficial to store this information in the volume
+ * table. For example, suppose we have a static volume X, and all its physical
+ * eraseblocks became bad for some reasons. Suppose we are attaching the
+ * corresponding MTD device, for some reason we find no logical eraseblocks
+ * corresponding to the volume X. According to the volume table volume X does
+ * exist. So we don't know whether it is just empty or all its physical
+ * eraseblocks went bad. So we cannot alarm the user properly.
+ *
+ * The volume table also stores so-called "update marker", which is used for
+ * volume updates. Before updating the volume, the update marker is set, and
+ * after the update operation is finished, the update marker is cleared. So if
+ * the update operation was interrupted (e.g. by an unclean reboot) - the
+ * update marker is still there and we know that the volume's contents is
+ * damaged.

+ * UBI wear-leveling sub-system.
+ *
+ * This sub-system is responsible for wear-leveling. It works in terms of
+ * physical eraseblocks and erase counters and knows nothing about logical
+ * eraseblocks, volumes, etc. From this sub-system's perspective all physical
+ * eraseblocks are of two types - used and free. Used physical eraseblocks are
+ * those that were "get" by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' function, and free physical
+ * eraseblocks are those that were put by the 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function.
+ *
+ * Physical eraseblocks returned by 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' have only erase counter
+ * header. The rest of the physical eraseblock contains only %0xFF bytes.
+ *
+ * When physical eraseblocks are returned to the WL sub-system by means of the
+ * 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function, they are scheduled for erasure. The erasure is
+ * done asynchronously in context of the per-UBI device background thread,
+ * which is also managed by the WL sub-system.
+ *
+ * The wear-leveling is ensured by means of moving the contents of used
+ * physical eraseblocks with low erase counter to free physical eraseblocks
+ * with high erase counter.
+ *
+ * If the WL sub-system fails to erase a physical eraseblock, it marks it as
+ * bad.
+ *
+ * This sub-system is also responsible for scrubbing. If a bit-flip is detected
+ * in a physical eraseblock, it has to be moved. Technically this is the same
+ * as moving it for wear-leveling reasons.
+ *
+ * As it was said, for the UBI sub-system all physical eraseblocks are either
+ * "free" or "used". Free eraseblock are kept in the @wl->free RB-tree, while
+ * used eraseblocks are kept in @wl->used, @wl->erroneous, or @wl->scrub
+ * RB-trees, as well as (temporarily) in the @wl->pq queue.
+ *
+ * When the WL sub-system returns a physical eraseblock, the physical
+ * eraseblock is protected from being moved for some "time". For this reason,
+ * the physical eraseblock is not directly moved from the @wl->free tree to the
+ * @wl->used tree. There is a protection queue in between where this
+ * physical eraseblock is temporarily stored (@wl->pq).
+ *
+ * All this protection stuff is needed because:
+ *  o we don't want to move physical eraseblocks just after we have given them
+ *    to the user; instead, we first want to let users fill them up with data;
+ *
+ *  o there is a chance that the user will put the physical eraseblock very
+ *    soon, so it makes sense not to move it for some time, but wait.
+ *
+ * Physical eraseblocks stay protected only for limited time. But the "time" is
+ * measured in erase cycles in this case. This is implemented with help of the
+ * protection queue. Eraseblocks are put to the tail of this queue when they
+ * are returned by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()', and eraseblocks are removed from the
+ * head of the queue on each erase operation (for any eraseblock). So the
+ * length of the queue defines how may (global) erase cycles PEBs are protected.
+ *
+ * To put it differently, each physical eraseblock has 2 main states: free and
+ * used. The former state corresponds to the @wl->free tree. The latter state
+ * is split up on several sub-states:
+ * o the WL movement is allowed (@wl->used tree);
+ * o the WL movement is disallowed (@wl->erroneous) because the PEB is
+ *   erroneous - e.g., there was a read error;
+ * o the WL movement is temporarily prohibited (@wl->pq queue);
+ * o scrubbing is needed (@wl->scrub tree).
+ *
+ * Depending on the sub-state, wear-leveling entries of the used physical
+ * eraseblocks may be kept in one of those structures.
+ *
+ * Note, in this implementation, we keep a small in-RAM object for each physical
+ * eraseblock. This is surely not a scalable solution. But it appears to be good
+ * enough for moderately large flashes and it is simple. In future, one may
+ * re-work this sub-system and make it more scalable.
+ *
+ * At the moment this sub-system does not utilize the sequence number, which
+ * was introduced relatively recently. But it would be wise to do this because
+ * the sequence number of a logical eraseblock characterizes how old is it. For
+ * example, when we move a PEB with low erase counter, and we need to pick the
+ * target PEB, we pick a PEB with the highest EC if our PEB is "old" and we
+ * pick target PEB with an average EC if our PEB is not very "old". This is a
+ * room for future re-works of the WL sub-system.
