- * 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

- * 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
