Why did you make these changes? It is preferable to not add another 'if'
statement to this macro to handle one or 2 cases - much bloat, little
gain.

Could we please avoid this?

I just wanted to be on the safe side and prevent this macro being called with ubi=NULL that may crash the system. If you still prefer the "if" removed will do.



- if (!ubi->free.rb_node || (ubi->free_count - ubi->beb_rsvd_pebs < 1)) {
- ubi_warn(ubi, "Can't get peb for fastmap:anchor=%d, free_cnt=%d, reserved=%d",
- anchor, ubi->free_count, ubi->beb_rsvd_pebs);
+ if (!ubi->free.rb_node || (ubi->free_count - ubi->beb_rsvd_pebs < 1))
goto out;

The warning looks pretty poor, so I do not mind to remove it, but I
thought your patch is about adding a parameter, but you mix different
kinds of things there. Please, be stricter to the similar UBIFS patch
which you was going to send.

Now I'm confused. I added this msg as part of the patch you already pushed to your branch but later you requested NOT to add additional msgs and if required add it in a different patch. So this was added by me and now removed by me - as per your request.



- if (kthread_should_stop()) {
- ubi_msg(ubi, "background thread \"%s\" should stop, PID %d",
- ubi->bgt_name, task_pid_nr(current));
+ if (kthread_should_stop())
break;
- }

How about just turning this into a debug message, not removing?

Same here. Removing this because *you* requested it.
Quoting you from V5:
"Yes, please, remove these messages or turn them into debugging messages.
And yes, these should have been added in a separate patch."


Artem.
