28  * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
29  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30  *
31  * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
32  * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
33  * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
34  * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
35  * return value.
36  *
37  * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
38  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39  *
40  * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
41  * control device.
42  *
43  * UBI volume creation
44  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45  *
46  * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
47  * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
48  * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
49  *
50  * UBI volume deletion
51  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
52  *
53  * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
54  * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
55  * to the ioctl.
56  *
57  * UBI volume re-size
58  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
59  *
60  * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
61  * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
62  * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
63  *
64  * UBI volumes re-name
65  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66  *
67  * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
68  * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
69  * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
70  *
71  * UBI volume update
72  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
73  *
74  * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
75  * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
76  * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
77  * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
78  * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
79  * is something like:
80  *
81  * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
82  * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
83  * write(fd, buf, image_size);
84  * close(fd);
85  *
86  * Logical eraseblock erase
87  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
88  *
89  * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
90  * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
91  * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
92  * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
93  *
94  * Atomic logical eraseblock change
95  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
96  *
97  * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
98  * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
99  * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
100  * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
101  * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
102  *
103  * Logical eraseblock map
104  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
105  *
106  * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
107  * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
108  * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
109  * a physical eraseblock and returns.  Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
110  * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
111  * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
112  *
113  * Logical eraseblock unmap
114  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
115  *
116  * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
117  * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
118  * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
119  * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
120  * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
121  * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
122  * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
123  *
124  * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
125  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
126  *
127  * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
128  * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
129  * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
130  *
131  * Set an UBI volume property
132  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
133  *
134  * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
135  * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
136  * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
137  * it should be set.
138  *
139  * Block devices on UBI volumes
140  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
141  *
142  * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
143  * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
144  * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
145  *
146  * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
147  * which takes no arguments.

245  *
246  * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
247  * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
248  * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
249  * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
250  * @ubi_num.
251  *
252  * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
253  * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
254  * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
255  * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
256  * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
257  *
258  * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
259  * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
260  * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
261  * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
262  * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
263  * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
264  * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
265  * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
266  * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
267  *
268  * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
269  * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
270  * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
271  * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
272  *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
273  * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
274  * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
275  * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
276  * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
277  * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
278  * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
