Richard Weinberger 8596813a11 ubi: Don't do anchor move within fastmap area
To make sure that Fastmap can use a PEB within the first 64
PEBs, UBI moves blocks away from that area.
It uses regular wear-leveling for that job.

An anchor move can be triggered if no PEB is free in this area
or because of anticipation. In the latter case it can happen
that UBI decides to move a block but finds a free PEB
within the same area.
This case is in vain an increases only erase counters.

Catch this case and cancel wear-leveling if this happens.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
