  23. * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
  24. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  25. *
  26. * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
  27. * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
  28. * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
  29. * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
  30. * return value.
  31. *
  32. * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
  33. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  34. *
  35. * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
  36. * control device.
  37. *
  38. * UBI volume creation
  39. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  40. *
  41. * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
  42. * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
  43. * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  44. *
  45. * UBI volume deletion
  46. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  47. *
  48. * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  49. * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
  50. * to the ioctl.
  51. *
  52. * UBI volume re-size
  53. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  54. *
  55. * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  56. * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
  57. * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  58. *
  59. * UBI volumes re-name
  60. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  61. *
  62. * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
  63. * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
  64. * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  65. *
  66. * UBI volume update
  67. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  68. *
  69. * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
  70. * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
  71. * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
  72. * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
  73. * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
  74. * is something like:
  75. *
  76. * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
  77. * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
  78. * write(fd, buf, image_size);
  79. * close(fd);
  80. *
  81. * Logical eraseblock erase
  82. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  83. *
  84. * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
  85. * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
  86. * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
  87. * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
  88. *
  89. * Atomic logical eraseblock change
  90. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  91. *
  92. * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
  93. * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
  94. * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
  95. * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
  96. * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
  97. *
  98. * Logical eraseblock map
  99. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  100. *
  101. * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
  102. * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
  103. * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
  104. * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
  105. * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
  106. * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
  107. *
  108. * Logical eraseblock unmap
  109. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  110. *
  111. * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
  112. * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
  113. * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
  114. * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
  115. * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
  116. * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
  117. * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
  118. *
  119. * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
  120. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  121. *
  122. * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
  123. * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
  124. * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
  125. *
  126. * Set an UBI volume property
  127. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  128. *
  129. * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
  130. * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
  131. * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
  132. * it should be set.
  133. *
  134. * Block devices on UBI volumes
  135. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  136. *
  137. * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
  138. * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
  139. * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
  140. *
  141. * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
  142. * which takes no arguments.

  222. * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the

  224. * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
  225. * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
  226. * @ubi_num.
  227. *
  228. * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
  229. * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
  230. * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset

  232. * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
  233. *
  234. * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
  235. * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
  236. * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
  237. * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
  238. * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
  239. * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
  240. * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes

  248. * 1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)

  251. * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
  252. * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
  253. * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
