  14 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
  15 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  16 *
  17 * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
  18 * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
  19 * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
  20 * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
  21 * return value.
  22 *
  23 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
  24 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  25 *
  26 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
  27 * control device.
  28 *
  29 * UBI volume creation
  30 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  31 *
  32 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
  33 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
  34 * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  35 *
  36 * UBI volume deletion
  37 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  38 *
  39 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  40 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
  41 * to the ioctl.
  42 *
  43 * UBI volume re-size
  44 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  45 *
  46 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  47 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
  48 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  49 *
  50 * UBI volumes re-name
  51 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  52 *
  53 * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
  54 * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
  55 * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  56 *
  57 * UBI volume update
  58 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  59 *
  60 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
  61 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
  62 * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
  63 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
  64 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
  65 * is something like:
  66 *
  67 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
  68 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
  69 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
  70 * close(fd);
  71 *
  72 * Logical eraseblock erase
  73 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  74 *
  75 * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
  76 * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
  77 * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
  78 * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
  79 *
  80 * Atomic logical eraseblock change
  81 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  82 *
  83 * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
  84 * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
  85 * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
  86 * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
  87 * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
  88 *
  89 * Logical eraseblock map
  90 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  91 *
  92 * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
  93 * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
  94 * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
  95 * a physical eraseblock and returns.  Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
  96 * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
  97 * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
  98 *
  99 * Logical eraseblock unmap
 100 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 101 *
 102 * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
 103 * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
 104 * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
 105 * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
 106 * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
 107 * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
 108 * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
 109 *
 110 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
 111 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 112 *
 113 * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
 114 * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
 115 * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
 116 *
 117 * Set an UBI volume property
 118 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 119 *
 120 * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
 121 * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
 122 * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
 123 * it should be set.
 124 *
 125 * Block devices on UBI volumes
 126 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 127 *
 128 * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
 129 * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
 130 * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
 131 *
 132 * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
 133 * which takes no arguments.
 134 */
 135
 136/*
 137 * When a new UBI volume or UBI device is created, users may either specify the
 138 * volume/device number they want to create or to let UBI automatically assign
 139 * the number using these constants.

 229 * @max_beb_per1024: maximum expected number of bad PEB per 1024 PEBs
 230 * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
 231 *
 232 * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
 233 * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
 234 * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
 235 * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
 236 * @ubi_num.
 237 *
 238 * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
 239 * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
 240 * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
 241 * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
 242 * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
 243 *
 244 * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
 245 * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
 246 * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
 247 * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
 248 * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
 249 * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
 250 * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
 251 * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
 252 * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
 253 *
 254 * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
 255 * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
 256 * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
 257 * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
 258 *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
 259 * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
 260 * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
 261 * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
 262 * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
 263 * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
 264 * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
