A given eraseblock can be read many times or not at all.
We do not have the account of such eraseblocks that have

By means of scanning the entire flash device it is possible to identify
all such eraseblocks.

Add a sysfs entry to force scan on all the PEBs on demand basis.

The sysfs entry would be available under /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/peb_scan
  - echo 1 to this entry would trigger the scan, ignored if in progress
  - On reading returns the scan status (1 = Scan executing, 0 = Scan not
    executing)

Did you see that?

Maybe we can combine our work.
Although your patch seems to be in better shape than mine. :)

oh, I'm sorry, missed that (its new :) )
this patch was tested thoroughly and working. I would appreciate if you could review this patch and perhaps we could improve it if required.
