  12. * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
  13. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  14. *
  15. * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
  16. * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
  17. * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
  18. * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
  19. * return value.
  20. *
  21. * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
  22. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  23. *
  24. * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
  25. * control device.
  26. *
  27. * UBI volume creation
  28. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  29. *
  30. * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
  31. * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
  32. * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  33. *
  34. * UBI volume deletion
  35. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  36. *
  37. * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  38. * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
  39. * to the ioctl.
  40. *
  41. * UBI volume re-size
  42. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  43. *
  44. * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  45. * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
  46. * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  47. *
  48. * UBI volumes re-name
  49. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  50. *
  51. * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
  52. * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
  53. * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  54. *
  55. * UBI volume update
  56. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  57. *
  58. * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
  59. * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
  60. * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
  61. * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
  62. * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
  63. * is something like:
  64. *
  65. * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
  66. * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
  67. * write(fd, buf, image_size);
  68. * close(fd);
  69. *
  70. * Logical eraseblock erase
  71. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  72. *
  73. * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
  74. * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
  75. * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
  76. * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
  77. *
  78. * Atomic logical eraseblock change
  79. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  80. *
  81. * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
  82. * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
  83. * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
  84. * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
  85. * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
  86. *
  87. * Logical eraseblock map
  88. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  89. *
  90. * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
  91. * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
  92. * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
  93. * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
  94. * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
  95. * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
  96. *
  97. * Logical eraseblock unmap
  98. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  99. *
  100. * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
  101. * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
  102. * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
  103. * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
  104. * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
  105. * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
  106. * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
  107. *
  108. * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
  109. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  110. *
  111. * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
  112. * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
  113. * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
  114. *
  115. * Set an UBI volume property
  116. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  117. *
  118. * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
  119. * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
  120. * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
  121. * it should be set.
  122. *
  123. * Block devices on UBI volumes
  124. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  125. *
  126. * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
  127. * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
  128. * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
  129. *
  130. * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
  131. * which takes no arguments.

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

  216. * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
  217. * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
  218. * @ubi_num.
  219. *
  220. * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
  221. * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
  222. * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
  223. * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
  224. * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
  225. *
  226. * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
  227. * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
  228. * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
  229. * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
  230. * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
  231. * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
  232. * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
  233. * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
  234. * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
  235. *
  236. * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
  237. * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks. This value is often given in an other form
  238. * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
  239. * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
  240. * 1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
  241. * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices. This limit is used in order to derive
  242. * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
  243. * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
  244. * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
  245. * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
