The functionality is good. A couple of comments though:
  - Have you considered the case when the device reports ws_min = ws_opt
    = 4096? Maybe checks preventing this case would be a good idea.
  - Have you checked for any conflicts in the write recovery path? You
    would need to deal with more corner cases (e.g., a write failure in
    the metadata page would require re-sending always all other sectors).
  - There are also corner cases on scan recovery: what if the metadata
    page cannot be read? In this case, data loss (at a drive level) will
    happen, but you will need to guarantee that reading garbage will not
    corrupt other data. In the OOB area case this is not a problem
    because data and metadata are always good/not good simultaneously.
  - I think it would be good to update the WA counters, since there is a
    significant write and space amplification in using (1 / ws_opt)
    pages for metadata.
