15  * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
16  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17  *
18  * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
19  * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
20  * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
21  * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
22  * return value.
23  *
24  * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
25  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26  *
27  * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
28  * control device.
29  *
30  * UBI volume creation
31  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
32  *
33  * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
34  * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
35  * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
36  *
37  * UBI volume deletion
38  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39  *
40  * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
41  * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
42  * to the ioctl.
43  *
44  * UBI volume re-size
45  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
46  *
47  * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
48  * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
49  * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
50  *
51  * UBI volumes re-name
52  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
53  *
54  * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
55  * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
56  * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
57  *
58  * UBI volume update
59  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
60  *
61  * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
62  * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
63  * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
64  * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
65  * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
66  * is something like:
67  *
68  * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
69  * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
70  * write(fd, buf, image_size);
71  * close(fd);
72  *
73  * Logical eraseblock erase
74  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
75  *
76  * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
77  * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
78  * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
79  * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
80  *
81  * Atomic logical eraseblock change
82  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
83  *
84  * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
85  * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
86  * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
87  * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
88  * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
89  *
90  * Logical eraseblock map
91  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
92  *
93  * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
94  * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
95  * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
96  * a physical eraseblock and returns.  Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
97  * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
98  * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
99  *
100  * Logical eraseblock unmap
101  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
102  *
103  * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
104  * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
105  * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
106  * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
107  * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
108  * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
109  * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
110  *
111  * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
112  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
113  *
114  * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
115  * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
116  * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
117  *
118  * Set an UBI volume property
119  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
120  *
121  * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
122  * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
123  * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
124  * it should be set.
125  *
126  * Block devices on UBI volumes
127  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
128  *
129  * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
130  * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
131  * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
132  *
133  * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
134  * which takes no arguments.

232  *
233  * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
234  * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
235  * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
236  * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
237  * @ubi_num.
238  *
239  * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
240  * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
241  * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
242  * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
243  * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
244  *
245  * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
246  * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
247  * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
248  * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
249  * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
250  * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
251  * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
252  * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
253  * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
254  *
255  * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
256  * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
257  * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
258  * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
259  *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
260  * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
261  * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
262  * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
263  * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
264  * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
265  * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
