ubi: wl: Put source PEB into correct list if trying locking LEB failed
During wear-leveing work, the source PEB will be moved into scrub list when source LEB cannot be locked in ubi_eba_copy_leb(), which is wrong for non-scrub type source PEB. The problem could bring extra and ineffective wear-leveing jobs, which makes more or less negative effects for the life time of flash. Specifically, the process is divided 2 steps: 1. wear_leveling_worker // generate false scrub type PEB ubi_eba_copy_leb // MOVE_RETRY is returned leb_write_trylock // trylock failed scrubbing = 1; e1 is put into ubi->scrub 2. wear_leveling_worker // schedule false scrub type PEB for wl scrubbing = 1 e1 = rb_entry(rb_first(&ubi->scrub)) The problem can be reproduced easily by running fsstress on a small UBIFS partition(<64M, simulated by nandsim) for 5~10mins (CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP=y,CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD=50). Following message is shown: ubi0: scrubbed PEB 66 (LEB 0:10), data moved to PEB 165 Since scrub type source PEB has set variable scrubbing as '1', and variable scrubbing is checked before variable keep, so the problem can be fixed by setting keep variable as 1 directly if the source LEB cannot be locked.
