Hi,

I notice a bug report with proposed fixes on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it (only the first problem that is quoted):

Quoted 27 lines

Problem 1: large erase counter for single fastmap data PEB

Config:
x86_64 qemu
flash: nandsim
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD=128
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP=y
ubi->beb_rsvd_pebs=0

Running fsstress on ubifs for 3h(fastmap data PEB has large erase counter than others):

See Bugzilla for the full thread (with other problems mentioned) and attached patch series that fixes them.

Zhihao: I asked you on BZ to send your patches to linux-mtd list, but you didn't respond there. Would you like to send them for review?

Thanks.
