     28  * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
     29  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     30  *
     31  * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
     32  * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
     33  * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
     34  * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
     35  * return value.
     36  *
     37  * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
     38  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     39  *
     40  * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
     41  * control device.
     42  *
     43  * UBI volume creation
     44  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     45  *
     46  * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
     47  * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
     48  * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
     49  *
     50  * UBI volume deletion
     51  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     52  *
     53  * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
     54  * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
     55  * to the ioctl.
     56  *
     57  * UBI volume re-size
     58  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     59  *
     60  * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
     61  * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
     62  * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
     63  *
     64  * UBI volumes re-name
     65  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     66  *
     67  * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
     68  * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
     69  * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
     70  *
     71  * UBI volume update
     72  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     73  *
     74  * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
     75  * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
     76  * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
     77  * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
     78  * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
     79  * is something like:
     80  *
     81  * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
     82  * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
     83  * write(fd, buf, image_size);
     84  * close(fd);
     85  *
     86  * Logical eraseblock erase
     87  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     88  *
     89  * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
     90  * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
     91  * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
     92  * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
     93  *
     94  * Atomic logical eraseblock change
     95  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     96  *
     97  * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
     98  * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
     99  * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
    100  * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
    101  * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
    102  *
    103  * Logical eraseblock map
    104  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    105  *
    106  * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
    107  * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
    108  * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
    109  * a physical eraseblock and returns.  Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
    110  * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
    111  * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
    112  *
    113  * Logical eraseblock unmap
    114  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    115  *
    116  * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
    117  * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
    118  * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
    119  * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
    120  * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
    121  * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
    122  * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
    123  *
    124  * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
    125  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    126  *
    127  * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
    128  * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
    129  * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
    130  *
    131  * Set an UBI volume property
    132  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    133  *
    134  * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
    135  * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
    136  * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
    137  * it should be set.
    138  *
    139  * Block devices on UBI volumes
    140  * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    141  *
    142  * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
    143  * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
    144  * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
    145  *
    146  * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
    147  * which takes no arguments.

    244  * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
    245  *
    246  * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
    247  * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
    248  * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
    249  * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
    250  * @ubi_num.
    251  *
    252  * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
    253  * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
    254  * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
    255  * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
    256  * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
    257  *
    258  * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
    259  * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
    260  * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
    261  * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
    262  * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
    263  * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
    264  * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
    265  * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
    266  * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
    267  *
    268  * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
    269  * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
    270  * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
    271  * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
    272  *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
    273  * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
    274  * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
    275  * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
    276  * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
    277  * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
    278  * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.

    398  * UBI tried to pick a PEB with lower erase counter for short term data and a
    399  * PEB with higher erase counter for long term data. But this was not really
    400  * used because users usually do not know this and could easily mislead UBI. We
    401  * removed this feature in May 2012. UBI currently just ignores the @dtype
    402  * field. But for better compatibility with older kernels it is recommended to
    403  * set @dtype to 3 (unknown).
