  25 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
  26 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  27 *
  28 * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
  29 * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
  30 * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
  31 * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
  32 * return value.
  33 *
  34 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
  35 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  36 *
  37 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
  38 * control device.
  39 *
  40 * UBI volume creation
  41 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  42 *
  43 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL IOCTL command of UBI character
  44 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
  45 * pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
  46 *
  47 * UBI volume deletion
  48 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  49 *
  50 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
  51 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
  52 * to the IOCTL.
  53 *
  54 * UBI volume re-size
  55 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  56 *
  57 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
  58 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
  59 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
  60 *
  61 * UBI volume update
  62 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  63 *
  64 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP IOCTL command of the
  65 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
  66 * size should be passed to the IOCTL. After this, UBI expects user to write
  67 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
  68 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
  69 * is something like:
  70 *
  71 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
  72 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
  73 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
  74 * close(fd);
  75 *
  76 * Atomic eraseblock change
  77 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  78 *
  79 * Atomic eraseblock change operation is done via the %UBI_IOCEBCH IOCTL
  80 * command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
  81 * &struct ubi_leb_change_req has to be passed to the IOCTL. Then the user is
  82 * expected to write the requested amount of bytes. This is similar to the
  83 * "volume update" IOCTL.
  84 */
  85
  86/*
  87 * When a new UBI volume or UBI device is created, users may either specify the
  88 * volume/device number they want to create or to let UBI automatically assign
  89 * the number using these constants.

 161 * @ubi_num: UBI device number to create
 162 * @mtd_num: MTD device number to attach
 163 * @vid_hdr_offset: VID header offset (use defaults if %0)
 164 * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
 165 *
 166 * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
 167 * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
 168 * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
 169 * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
 170 * @ubi_num.
 171 *
 172 * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
 173 * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
 174 * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
 175 * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
 176 * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
 177 *
 178 * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
 179 * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if the
 180 * VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages. As
 181 * the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it needs
 182 * UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird example,
 183 * but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would be
 184 * 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
 185 * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th sub-page
 186 * of the first page and add needed padding.
