So the general idea behind the patch is that we want to hold back PEBs that lost the EC header since they must be less healthy than others? More precisely such that this PEB will be less likely picked by find_mean_wl_entry(). Did you check, doesn't this make it more likely that such a "bad" PEB is more often picked by wear leveling? It does not use find_mean_wl_entry(). Thanks, //richard

Use a slightly larger than average EC so these PEBs will be reinitialised with erase counts that make them less likely to be reused than other (perhaps less worn or error-prone) PEBs We have more frequent ECC failures on reads of page 0 of some PEBs which manifest itself commonly during ubiattach. We believe this is due to "program disturb" and want those PEB to be re-used later than average.
