15 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
16 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17 *
18 * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
19 * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
20 * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
21 * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
22 * return value.
23 *
24 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
25 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
26 *
27 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
28 * control device.
29 *
30 * UBI volume creation
31 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
32 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020033 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010034 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020035 * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010036 *
37 * UBI volume deletion
38 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020040 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010041 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020042 * to the ioctl.
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010043 *
44 * UBI volume re-size
45 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
46 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020047 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010048 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020049 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
50 *
51 * UBI volumes re-name
52 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
53 *
54 * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
55 * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
56 * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010057 *
58 * UBI volume update
59 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
60 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020061 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010062 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020063 * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010064 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
65 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
66 * is something like:
67 *
68 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
69 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
70 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
71 * close(fd);
72 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020073 * Logical eraseblock erase
Kyungmin Park47ae6692008-11-19 16:36:36 +010074 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
75 *
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +020076 * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
77 * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
78 * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
79 * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
80 *
81 * Atomic logical eraseblock change
82 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
83 *
84 * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
85 * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
86 * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
87 * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
88 * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
89 *
90 * Logical eraseblock map
91 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
92 *
93 * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
94 * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
95 * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
96 * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
97 * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
98 * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
99 *
100 * Logical eraseblock unmap
101 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
102 *
103 * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
104 * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
105 * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
106 * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
107 * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
108 * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
109 * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
110 *
111 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
112 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
113 *
114 * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
115 * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
116 * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
117 *
118 * Set an UBI volume property
119 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
120 *
121 * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
122 * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
123 * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
124 * it should be set.

219 * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
220 * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
221 * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
222 * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
223 * @ubi_num.
224 *
225 * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
226 * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
227 * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
228 * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
229 * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
230 *
231 * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +0200232 * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
233 * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
234 * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
235 * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
236 * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
237 * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
238 * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
239 * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
240 *
241 * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
242 * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks. This value is often given in an other form
243 * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
244 * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
245 * 1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
246 * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices. This limit is used in order to derive
247 * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
248 * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
249 * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
250 * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
251 * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.

369 * The @dtype field used to inform UBI about what kind of data will be written
370 * to the LEB: long term (value 1), short term (value 2), unknown (value 3).
371 * UBI tried to pick a PEB with lower erase counter for short term data and a
372 * PEB with higher erase counter for long term data. But this was not really
373 * used because users usually do not know this and could easily mislead UBI. We
374 * removed this feature in May 2012. UBI currently just ignores the @dtype
375 * field. But for better compatibility with older kernels it is recommended to
376 * set @dtype to 3 (unknown).
