Hi,
I walked through eba_write path.I found that,if EBUSY or EAGAIN is
returned as err code from ubi_io_write_vid_hdr or ubi_io_write_data
,still the PEB is put back to wear-levelling.This is
unnecessary.Shouldn't it retry on same PEB again?
Code Snip:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
retry:
pnum = ubi_wl_get_peb(ubi, dtype);
if (pnum < 0) {
ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
return pnum;
}
err = ubi_io_write_vid_hdr(ubi, pnum, vid_hdr);
if (err) {
ubi_warn("failed to write VID header to LEB %d:%d, PEB %d",
vol_id, lnum, pnum);
goto write_error;
}
err = ubi_io_write_data(ubi, buf, pnum, offset, len);
if (err) {
ubi_warn("failed to write %d bytes at offset %d of LEB %d:%d, " "PEB
%d", len, offset, vol_id, lnum, pnum);
goto write_error;
}
...
write_error:
if (err != -EIO || !ubi->bad_allowed) {
ubi_ro_mode(ubi);
leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
return err;
}
/*
* Fortunately, this is the first write operation to this physical
* eraseblock, so just put it and request a new one. We assume that if
* this physical eraseblock went bad, the erase code will handle that.
*/
err = ubi_wl_put_peb(ubi, pnum, 1);
if (err || ++tries > UBI_IO_RETRIES) {
ubi_ro_mode(ubi);
leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
return err;
}
vid_hdr->sqnum = cpu_to_be64(next_sqnum(ubi));
ubi_msg("try another PEB");
goto retry;
