- * paranoid_check_empty - whether a PEB is empty.

- *
- * This function makes sure PEB @pnum is empty, which means it contains only
- * %0xFF data bytes. Returns zero if the PEB is empty, %1 if not, and a
- * negative error code in case of failure.
- *
- * Empty PEBs have the EC header, and do not have the VID header. The caller of
- * this function should have already made sure the PEB does not have the VID
- * header. However, this function re-checks that, because it is possible that
- * the header and data has already been written to the PEB.
- *
- * Let's consider a possible scenario. Suppose there are 2 tasks - A and B.
- * Task A is in 'wear_leveling_worker()'. It is reading VID header of PEB X to
- * find which LEB it corresponds to. PEB X is currently unmapped, and has no
- * VID header. Task B is trying to write to PEB X.
- *
- * Task A: in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()': reads the VID header from PEB X. The
- * read data contain all 0xFF bytes;
- * Task B: writes VID header and some data to PEB X;
- * Task A: assumes PEB X is empty, calls 'paranoid_check_empty()'. And if we
- * do not re-read the VID header, and do not cancel the checking if it
- * is there, we fail.
