534 * physically erased in background. This operation is much faster then the
535 * erase operation.
537 * Unlike erase, the un-map operation does not guarantee that the logical
538 * eraseblock will contain all 0xFF bytes when UBI is initialized again. For
539 * example, if several logical eraseblocks are un-mapped, and an unclean reboot
540 * happens after this, the logical eraseblocks will not necessarily be
541 * un-mapped again when this MTD device is attached. They may actually be
542 * mapped to the same physical eraseblocks again. So, this function has to be
543 * used with care.
545 * In other words, when un-mapping a logical eraseblock, UBI does not store
546 * any information about this on the flash media, it just marks the logical
547 * eraseblock as "un-mapped" in RAM. If UBI is detached before the physical
548 * eraseblock is physically erased, it will be mapped again to the same logical
549 * eraseblock when the MTD device is attached again.
551 * The main and obvious use-case of this function is when the contents of a

553 * first un-map it, then write new data, rather then first erase it, then write

555 * UBI guarantees that the old contents has gone forever. In other words, if an

557 * then written to, it will contain the last written data.
