/*
 * UBI wear-leveling sub-system.
 *
 * This sub-system is responsible for wear-leveling. It works in terms of
 * physical eraseblocks and erase counters and knows nothing about logical
 * eraseblocks, volumes, etc. From this sub-system's perspective all physical
 * eraseblocks are of two types - used and free. Used physical eraseblocks are
 * those that were "get" by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' function, and free physical
 * eraseblocks are those that were put by the 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function.
 *
 * Physical eraseblocks returned by 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' have only erase counter
 * header. The rest of the physical eraseblock contains only %0xFF bytes.
 *
 * When physical eraseblocks are returned to the WL sub-system by means of the
 * 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function, they are scheduled for erasure. The erasure is
 * done asynchronously in context of the per-UBI device background thread,
 * which is also managed by the WL sub-system.
 *
 * The wear-leveling is ensured by means of moving the contents of used
 * physical eraseblocks with low erase counter to free physical eraseblocks
 * with high erase counter.
 *
 * The 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' function accepts data type hints which help to pick
 * an "optimal" physical eraseblock. For example, when it is known that the
 * physical eraseblock will be "put" soon because it contains short-term data,
 * the WL sub-system may pick a free physical eraseblock with low erase
 * counter, and so forth.
 *
 * If the WL sub-system fails to erase a physical eraseblock, it marks it as
 * bad.
 *
 * This sub-system is also responsible for scrubbing. If a bit-flip is detected
 * in a physical eraseblock, it has to be moved. Technically this is the same
 * as moving it for wear-leveling reasons.
 *
 * As it was said, for the UBI sub-system all physical eraseblocks are either
 * "free" or "used". Free eraseblock are kept in the @wl->free RB-tree, while
 * used eraseblocks are kept in @wl->used or @wl->scrub RB-trees, or
 * (temporarily) in the @wl->pq queue.
 *
 * When the WL sub-system returns a physical eraseblock, the physical
 * eraseblock is protected from being moved for some "time". For this reason,
 * the physical eraseblock is not directly moved from the @wl->free tree to the
 * @wl->used tree. There is a protection queue in between where this
 * physical eraseblock is temporarily stored (@wl->pq).
 *
 * All this protection stuff is needed because:
 *  o we don't want to move physical eraseblocks just after we have given them
 *    to the user; instead, we first want to let users fill them up with data;
 *
 *  o there is a chance that the user will put the physical eraseblock very
 *    soon, so it makes sense not to move it for some time, but wait; this is
 *    especially important in case of "short term" physical eraseblocks.
 *
 * Physical eraseblocks stay protected only for limited time. But the "time" is
 * measured in erase cycles in this case. This is implemented with help of the
 * protection queue. Eraseblocks are put to the tail of this queue when they
 * are returned by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()', and eraseblocks are removed from the
 * head of the queue on each erase operation (for any eraseblock). So the
 * length of the queue defines how may (global) erase cycles PEBs are protected.
 *
 * To put it differently, each physical eraseblock has 2 main states: free and
 * used. The former state corresponds to the @wl->free tree. The latter state
 * is split up on several sub-states:
 * o the WL movement is allowed (@wl->used tree);
 * o the WL movement is temporarily prohibited (@wl->pq queue);
 * o scrubbing is needed (@wl->scrub tree).
 *
 * Depending on the sub-state, wear-leveling entries of the used physical
 * eraseblocks may be kept in one of those structures.
 *
 * Note, in this implementation, we keep a small in-RAM object for each physical
 * eraseblock. This is surely not a scalable solution. But it appears to be good
 * enough for moderately large flashes and it is simple. In future, one may
 * re-work this sub-system and make it more scalable.
 *
 * At the moment this sub-system does not utilize the sequence number, which
 * was introduced relatively recently. But it would be wise to do this because
 * the sequence number of a logical eraseblock characterizes how old is it. For
 * example, when we move a PEB with low erase counter, and we need to pick the
 * target PEB, we pick a PEB with the highest EC if our PEB is "old" and we
 * pick target PEB with an average EC if our PEB is not very "old". This is a
 * room for future re-works of the WL sub-system.
