27 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
28 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30 * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
31 * control device. 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.
36 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
37 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
40 * control device.
42 * UBI volume creation
43 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
49 * UBI volume deletion
50 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
56 * UBI volume re-size
57 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
63 * UBI volumes re-name
64 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
70 * UBI volume update
71 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
80 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
81 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
82 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
83 * close(fd);
85 * Logical eraseblock erase
86 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
93 * Atomic logical eraseblock change
94 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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).
102 * Logical eraseblock map
103 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
112 * Logical eraseblock unmap
113 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
123 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
124 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
130 * Set an UBI volume property
131 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
133 * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
134 * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_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.
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.

236 * struct ubi_attach_req - attach MTD device request.
237 * @ubi_num: UBI device number to create
238 * @mtd_num: MTD device number to attach
239 * @vid_hdr_offset: VID header offset (use defaults if %0)
240 * @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
242 * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
243 * parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
244 * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
245 * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
246 * @ubi_num.
248 * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
249 * offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
250 * the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
251 * 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
252 * it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
254 * But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
255 * a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
256 * the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
257 * As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
258 * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
259 * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
260 * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
261 * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
262 * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.

283 * This structure is used by user-space programs when creating new volumes. The

286 * The @alignment field specifies the required alignment of the volume logical
287 * eraseblock. This means, that the size of logical eraseblocks will be aligned
288 * to this number, i.e.,
289 * (UBI device logical eraseblock size) mod (@alignment) = 0.
291 * To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly
292 * shortened in order to make it properly aligned. The alignment has to be
293 * multiple of the flash minimal input/output unit, or %1 to utilize the entire
294 * available space of logical eraseblocks.
296 * The @alignment field may be useful, for example, when one wants to maintain
297 * a block device on top of an UBI volume. In this case, it is desirable to fit
298 * an integer number of blocks in logical eraseblocks of this UBI volume. With
299 * alignment it is possible to update this volume using plane UBI volume image
300 * BLOBs, without caring about how to properly align them.

338 * UBI allows to re-name up to %32 volumes at one go. The count of volumes to
339 * re-name is specified in the @count field. The ID of the volumes to re-name
340 * and the new names are specified in the @vol_id and @name fields.
342 * The UBI volume re-name operation is atomic, which means that should power cut
343 * happen, the volumes will have either old name or new name. So the possible
344 * use-cases of this command is atomic upgrade. Indeed, to upgrade, say, volumes
345 * A and B one may create temporary volumes %A1 and %B1 with the new contents,
346 * then atomically re-name A1->A and B1->B, in which case old %A and %B will
347 * be removed.
349 * If it is not desirable to remove old A and B, the re-name request has to
350 * contain 4 entries: A1->A, A->A1, B1->B, B->B1, in which case old A1 and B1
351 * become A and B, and old A and B will become A1 and B1.
353 * It is also OK to request: A1->A, A1->X, B1->B, B->Y, in which case old A1
354 * and B1 become A and B, and old A and B become X and Y.
356 * In other words, in case of re-naming into an existing volume name, the
