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

231  *
232  * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
233  * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
234  * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
235  * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
236  * @ubi_num.
237  *
238  * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
239  * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
240  * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
241  * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
242  * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
243  *
244  * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
245  * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
246  * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
247  * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
248  * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
249  * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
250  * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
251  * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
252  * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
253  *
254  * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
255  * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
256  * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
257  * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
258  *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
259  * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
260  * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
261  * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
262  * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
263  * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
264  * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
