In some error paths the WL sub-system gives up on a PEB
and frees it's ubi_wl_entry struct but does not set
the entry in ubi->lookuptbl to NULL.
Fastmap can stumble over such a stale pointer as it uses
ubi->lookuptbl to find all PEBs.
Fix this by introducing a new helper function which free()s
a WL entry and removes the reference from the lookup table.

a) Rename ubi->fm_sem to ubi->fm_eba_sem as this semaphore
protects EBA changes.
b) Turn ubi->fm_mutex into a rw semaphore. It will still serialize
fastmap writes but also ensures that ubi_wl_put_peb() is not
interrupted by a fastmap write. We use a rw semaphore to allow
ubi_wl_put_peb() still to be executed in parallel if no fastmap
write is happening.

ubi_wl_get_peb() returns a fresh PEB which can be used by
user of UBI. Due to the pool logic fastmap will correctly
map this PEB upon attach time because it will be scanned.
If a new fastmap is written (due to heavy parallel io)
while the before the fresh PEB is assigned to the EBA table
it will not be scanned as it is no longer in the pool.
So, the race window exists between ubi_wl_get_peb()
and the EBA table assignment.
We have to make sure that no new fastmap can be written
while that.
To ensure that ubi_wl_get_peb() will grab ubi->fm_sem in read mode
and the user of ubi_wl_get_peb() has to release it after the PEB

Make it two functions, wl_get_wle() and wl_get_peb().
wl_get_peb() works exactly like __wl_get_peb() but wl_get_wle()
does not call produce_free_peb().
While refilling the fastmap user pool we cannot release ubi->wl_lock

Hence the fastmap logic uses now wl_get_wle().

ubi_wl_get_peb() has two problems, it reads the pool
size and usage counters without any protection.
While reading one value would be perfectly fine it reads multiple
values and compares them. This is racy and can lead to incorrect
pool handling.
Furthermore ubi_update_fastmap() is called without wl_lock held,
before incrementing the used counter it needs to be checked again.
It could happen that another thread consumed all PEBs from the

The existing mechanism of reserving PEBs for bad PEB handling has two
flaws:
- It is calculated as a percentage of good PEBs instead of total PEBs.
- There's no limit on the amount of PEBs UBI reserves for future bad
eraseblock handling.
This patch changes the mechanism to overcome these flaws.
The desired level of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling (beb_rsvd_level)
is set to the maximum expected bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_limit) minus the
existing number of bad eraseblocks (bad_peb_count).
The actual amount of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling is usually set
to the desired level (but in some circumstances may be lower than the
desired level, e.g. when attaching to a device that has too few
available PEBs to satisfy the desired level).
In the case where the device has too many bad PEBs (above the expected
limit), then the desired level, and the actual amount of PEBs reserved
are set to zero. No PEBs will be set aside for future bad eraseblock
handling - even if some PEBs are made available (e.g. by shrinking a
volume).
If another PEB goes bad, and there are available PEBs, then the
eraseblock will be marked bad (consuming one available PEB). But if
there are no available PEBs, ubi will go into readonly mode.

Commit "62f38455 UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum"
takes the 'work_sem' semaphore in write mode for the entire loop, which is not
very good because it will block other workers for potentially long time. We do
not need to have it in write mode - read mode is enough, and we do not need to
hole it over the entire loop. So this patch turns changes the locking: takes
'work_sem' in read mode and pushes it down to the loop.

This patch modifies ubi_wl_flush to force the erasure of
particular volume id / logical eraseblock number pairs. Previous functionality
is preserved when passing UBI_ALL for both values. The locations where ubi_wl_flush
were called are appropriately changed: ubi_leb_erase only flushes for the
erased LEB, and ubi_create_volume forces only flushing for its volume id.
External code can call this new feature via the new function ubi_flush() added
to kapi.c, which simply passes through to ubi_wl_flush().
This was tested by disabling the call to do_work in ubi thread, which results
in the work queue remaining unless explicitly called to remove. UBIFS was
changed to call ubifs_leb_change 50 times for four different LEBs. Then the
new function was called to clear the queue: passing wrong volume ids / lnum,
correct ones, and finally UBI_ALL for both to ensure it was finally all
cleard. The work queue was dumped each time and the selective removal
of the particular LEB numbers was observed. Extra checks were enabled and
ubifs's integck was also run. Finally, the drive was repeatedly filled and
emptied to ensure that the queue was cleared normally.

This is part of a multipart patch to allow UBI to force the erasure of
particular logical eraseblock numbers. In this patch, the volume id and LEB
number are added to ubi_work data structure, and both are also passed as a
parameter to schedule erase to set it appropriately. Whenever ubi_wl_put_peb
is called, the lnum is also passed to be forwarded to schedule erase. Later,
a new ubi_sync_lnum will be added to execute immediately all work related to
that lnum.
This was tested by outputting the vol_id and lnum during the schedule of
erasure. The ubi thread was disabled and two ubifs drives on separate
partitions repeated changed a small number of LEBs. The ubi module was readded,
and all the erased LEBs, corresponding to the volumes, were added to the
schedule erase queue.
