We can use a obvious name like 'read_cnt' or 'read_length', instead of 'i'.

How about 'if (req.length <= 0 || req.start < 0 || req.start >= 
ubi->peb_count)'? Then 'if (req.start > end_peb)' below can be deleted.

How about 'if (unlikely(check_add_overflow(req.start, req.length, 
&end_peb)))' ?

This check can be removed.

We can use 'put_user' below to replace the check 'access_ok'.

for (peb = req.start; peb < end_peb; i++, peb++) {
	int ec = UBI_UNKNOWN;

	if (!ubi_io_is_bad(ubi, peb)) {
		spin_lock(&ubi->wl_lock);
		wl = ubi->lookuptbl[peb];
		if (wl)
			ec = wl->ec;
		else
			ec = UBI_UNKNOWN;
		spin_unlock(&ubi->wl_lock);
	}

	if (unlikely(put_user(ec, ureq->erase_counters+i)))
		return -EFAULT;
}
