[ Upstream commit 76f9476ece445a07aeb72df9d896cd563fb5b50f ] After disabling fastmap(ubi->fm_disabled = 1), fastmap won't be updated, fm_anchor PEB is missed being scheduled for erasing. Besides, fm_anchor PEB may have smallest erase count, it doesn't participate wear-leveling. The difference of erase count between fm_anchor PEB and other PEBs will be larger and larger later on. In which situation fastmap can be disabled? Initially, we have an UBI image with fastmap. Then the image will be atttached without module parameter 'fm_autoconvert', ubi turns to full scanning mode in one random attaching process(eg. bad fastmap caused by powercut), ubi fastmap is disabled since then. Fix it by not getting fm_anchor if fastmap is disabled in ubi_refill_pools(). Fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
