Subject: UBI: io_write_path

Hi,
   I walked through eba_write path.I found that,if EBUSY or EAGAIN is
returned as err code from ubi_io_write_vid_hdr or ubi_io_write_data
,still the PEB is put back to wear-levelling.This is
unnecessary.Shouldn't it retry on same PEB again?
Code Snip:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
retry:
	pnum = ubi_wl_get_peb(ubi, dtype);
	if (pnum < 0) {
		ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
		leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
		return pnum;
	}

	err = ubi_io_write_vid_hdr(ubi, pnum, vid_hdr);
	if (err) {
		ubi_warn("failed to write VID header to LEB %d:%d, PEB %d",
			 vol_id, lnum, pnum);
		goto write_error;
	}

	err = ubi_io_write_data(ubi, buf, pnum, offset, len);
	if (err) {
		ubi_warn("failed to write %d bytes at offset %d of LEB %d:%d, " "PEB
%d", len, offset, vol_id, lnum, pnum);
		goto write_error;
	}
...

write_error:
	if (err != -EIO || !ubi->bad_allowed) {
		ubi_ro_mode(ubi);
		leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
		ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
		return err;
	}

	/*
	 * Fortunately, this is the first write operation to this physical
	 * eraseblock, so just put it and request a new one. We assume that if
	 * this physical eraseblock went bad, the erase code will handle that.
	 */
	err = ubi_wl_put_peb(ubi, pnum, 1);
	if (err || ++tries > UBI_IO_RETRIES) {
		ubi_ro_mode(ubi);
		leb_write_unlock(ubi, vol_id, lnum);
		ubi_free_vid_hdr(ubi, vid_hdr);
		return err;
	}

	vid_hdr->sqnum = cpu_to_be64(next_sqnum(ubi));
	ubi_msg("try another PEB");
	goto retry;
