+ * Empty PEBs have the EC header, and do not have the VID header. The caller of

+ *
+ * Let's consider a possible scenario. Suppose there are 2 tasks - A and B.
+ * 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
+ *         read data contain all 0xFF bytes;
+ * 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
+ *         do not re-read the VID header, and do not cancel the checking if it
+ *         is there, we fail.
