The anchor PEB must be picked from first 64 PEBs, these PEBs could have
large erase counter greater than other PEBs especially when free space
is nearly running out.
The ubi_update_fastmap will be called as long as pool/wl_pool is empty,
old anchor PEB is erased when updating fastmap. Given an UBI device with
N PEBs, free PEBs is nearly running out and pool will be filled with 1
PEB every time ubi_update_fastmap invoked. So t=N/POOL_SIZE[1]/64 means
that in worst case the erase counter of first 64 PEBs is t times greater
than other PEBs in theory.
After running fsstress for 24h, the erase counter statistics for two UBI
devices shown as follow(CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD=128):

Device A(1024 PEBs, pool=50, wl_pool=25):
=========================================================

Total               :     8192     2253     2579    35388

The key point is reducing fastmap updating frequency by enlarging
POOL_SIZE, so let UBI reserve ubi-&gt;fm_pool.max_size PEBs during
attaching. Then POOL_SIZE will become ubi-&gt;fm_pool.max_size/2 even
in free space running out case.
Given an UBI device with 8192 PEBs(16384\8192\4096 is common
large-capacity flash), t=8192/128/64=1. The fastmap updating will
happen in either wl_pool or pool is empty, so setting fm_pool_rsv_cnt
as ubi-&gt;fm_pool.max_size can fill wl_pool in full state.

After pool reservation, running fsstress for 24h:

Device A(1024 PEBs, pool=50, wl_pool=25):

---------------------------------------------------------
Total               :     8192     2205     2397     2460

The difference of erase counter between first 64 PEBs and others is
under WL_FREE_MAX_DIFF(2*UBI_WL_THRESHOLD=2*128=256).
  Device A: 34056 - 33801 = 255
  Device B: 2460 - 2205 = 255

Next patch will add a switch to control whether UBI needs to reserve
PEBs for filling pool.

There exists mtd devices with zero erasesize, which will trigger a
divide-by-zero exception while attaching ubi device.
Fix it by refusing attaching if mtd's erasesize is 0.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

Following process will make ubi attaching failed since commit

ID="0xec,0xa1,0x00,0x15" # 128M 128KB 2KB
modprobe nandsim id_bytes=$ID

modprobe ubi mtd="0,2048"  # set vid_hdr offset as 2048 (one page)
(dmesg):
  ubi0 error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev [ubi]: VID header offset 2048 too large.
  UBI error: cannot attach mtd0
  UBI error: cannot initialize UBI, error -22

Rework original solution, the key point is making sure
'vid_hdr_shift + UBI_VID_HDR_SIZE &lt; ubi-&gt;vid_hdr_alsize',
so we should check vid_hdr_shift rather not vid_hdr_offset.
Then, ubi still support (sub)page aligined VID header offset.

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
class to be moved to read-only memory.

While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute
as constant as it can not be modified.  The bonding code still uses this
structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks.

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.

This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.

Wire up the device parent pointer of UBI devices to their lower MTD
device, typically an MTD partition or whole-chip device.

The most noticeable change is that in sysfs, previously ubi devices
would be could in /sys/devices/virtual/ubi while after this change they
would be correctly attached to their parent MTD device, e.g.

/sys/devices/platform/1100d000.spi/spi_master/spi1/spi1.0/mtd/mtd2/ubi0.

Locating UBI devices using /sys/class/ubi/ of course still works as
well.
