The caller has to properly fill and pass 32 * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in 33 * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl 34 * return value. 35 * 36 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment) 37 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 38 * 39 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI 40 * control device. 41 * 42 * UBI volume creation 43 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 44 * 45 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character 46 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a 47 * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl. 48 * 49 * UBI volume deletion 50 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 51 * 52 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character 53 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed 54 * to the ioctl. 55 * 56 * UBI volume re-size 57 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 58 * 59 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character 60 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly 61 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl. 62 * 63 * UBI volumes re-name 64 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 65 * 66 * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command 67 * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object 68 * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl. 69 * 70 * UBI volume update 71 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 72 * 73 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the 74 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update 75 * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write 76 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished 77 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence 78 * is something like: 79 * 80 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume"); 81 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size); 82 * write(fd, buf, image_size); 83 * close(fd); 84 * 85 * Logical eraseblock erase 86 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 87 * 88 * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the 89 * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command 90 * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding 91 * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns. 92 * 93 * Atomic logical eraseblock change 94 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 95 * 96 * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH 97 * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to 98 * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the 99 * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what 100 * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl). 101 * 102 * Logical eraseblock map 103 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 104 * 105 * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP 106 * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is 107 * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to 108 * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can 109 * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already 110 * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error. 111 * 112 * Logical eraseblock unmap 113 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 114 * 115 * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP 116 * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks, 117 * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike 118 * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being 119 * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens 120 * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same 121 * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again. 122 * 123 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped 124 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 125 * 126 * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the 127 * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is 128 * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped. 129 * 130 * Set an UBI volume property 131 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 132 * 133 * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be 134 * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be 135 * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value 136 * it should be set. 137 */ 138 139 /* 140 * When a new UBI volume or UBI device is created, users may either specify the 141 * volume/device number they want to create or to let UBI automatically assign 142 * the number using these constants. 143 */ 144 #define UBI_VOL_NUM_AUTO (-1) 145 #define UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO (-1) 146 147 /* Maximum volume name length */ 148 #define UBI_MAX_VOLUME_NAME 127 149 150 /* ioctl commands of UBI character devices */ 151 152 #define UBI_IOC_MAGIC 'o' 153 154 /* Create an UBI volume */ 155 #define UBI_IOCMKVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 0, struct ubi_mkvol_req) 156 /* Remove an UBI volume */ 157 #define UBI_IOCRMVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 1, __s32) 158 /* Re-size an UBI volume */ 159 #define UBI_IOCRSVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 2, struct ubi_rsvol_req) 160 /* Re-name volumes */ 161 #define UBI_IOCRNVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct ubi_rnvol_req) 162 163 /* ioctl commands of the UBI control character device */ 164 165 #define UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC 'o' 166 167 /* Attach an MTD device */ 168 #define UBI_IOCATT _IOW(UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC, 64, struct ubi_attach_req) 169 /* Detach an MTD device */ 170 #define UBI_IOCDET _IOW(UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC, 65, __s32) 171 172 /* ioctl commands of UBI volume character devices */ 173 174 #define UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC 'O' 175 176 /* Start UBI volume update */ 177 #define UBI_IOCVOLUP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 0, __s64) 178 /* LEB erasure command, used for debugging, disabled by default */ 179 #define UBI_IOCEBER _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 1, __s32) 180 /* Atomic LEB change command */ 181 #define UBI_IOCEBCH _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 2, __s32) 182 /* Map LEB command */ 183 #define UBI_IOCEBMAP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct ubi_map_req) 184 /* Unmap LEB command */ 185 #define UBI_IOCEBUNMAP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 4, __s32) 186 /* Check if LEB is mapped command */ 187 #define UBI_IOCEBISMAP _IOR(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 5, __s32) 188 /* Set an UBI volume property */ 189 #define UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 6, \ 190 struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req) 191 192 /* Maximum MTD device name length supported by UBI */ 193 #define MAX_UBI_MTD_NAME_LEN 127 194 195 /* Maximum amount of UBI volumes that can be re-named at one go */ 196 #define UBI_MAX_RNVOL 32 197 198 /* 199 * UBI data type hint constants. 200 * 201 * UBI_LONGTERM: long-term data 202 * UBI_SHORTTERM: short-term data 203 * UBI_UNKNOWN: data persistence is unknown 204 * 205 * These constants are used when data is written to UBI volumes in order to 206 * help the UBI wear-leveling unit to find more appropriate physical 207 * eraseblocks. 208 */ 209 enum { 210 UBI_LONGTERM = 1, 211 UBI_SHORTTERM = 2, 212 UBI_UNKNOWN = 3, 213 }; 214 215 /* 216 * UBI volume type constants. 217 * 218 * @UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME: dynamic volume 219 * @UBI_STATIC_VOLUME: static volume 220 */ 221 enum { 222 UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME = 3, 223 UBI_STATIC_VOLUME = 4, 224 }; 225 226 /* 227 * UBI set volume property ioctl constants. 228 * 229 * @UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE: allow (any non-zero value) or disallow (value 0) 230 * user to directly write and erase individual 231 * eraseblocks on dynamic volumes 232 */ 233 enum { 234 UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE = 1, 235 }; 236 237 /** 238 * struct ubi_attach_req - attach MTD device request. 239 * @ubi_num: UBI device number to create 240 * @mtd_num: MTD device number to attach 241 * @vid_hdr_offset: VID header offset (use defaults if %0) 242 * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed 243 * 244 * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the 245 * parameters it has to use.
