  24. * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
  25. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  26. *
  27. * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
  28. * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
  29. * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
  30. * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
  31. * return value.
  32. *
  33. * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
  34. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  35. *
  36. * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
  37. * control device.
  38. *
  39. * UBI volume creation
  40. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  41. *
  42. * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
  43. * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
  44. * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  45. *
  46. * UBI volume deletion
  47. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  48. *
  49. * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  50. * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
  51. * to the ioctl.
  52. *
  53. * UBI volume re-size
  54. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  55. *
  56. * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
  57. * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
  58. * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  59. *
  60. * UBI volumes re-name
  61. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  62. *
  63. * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
  64. * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
  65. * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
  66. *
  67. * UBI volume update
  68. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  69. *
  70. * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
  71. * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
  72. * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
  73. * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
  74. * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
  75. * is something like:
  76. *
  77. * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
  78. * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
  79. * write(fd, buf, image_size);
  80. * close(fd);
  81. *
  82. * Logical eraseblock erase
  83. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  84. *
  85. * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
  86. * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
  87. * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
  88. * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
  89. *
  90. * Atomic logical eraseblock change
  91. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  92. *
  93. * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
  94. * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
  95. * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
  96. * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
  97. * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
  98. *
  99. * Logical eraseblock map
  100. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  101. *
  102. * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
  103. * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
  104. * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
  105. * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
  106. * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
  107. * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
  108. *
  109. * Logical eraseblock unmap
  110. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  111. *
  112. * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
  113. * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
  114. * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
  115. * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
  116. * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
  117. * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
  118. * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
  119. *
  120. * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
  121. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  122. *
  123. * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
  124. * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
  125. * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
  126. *
  127. * Set an UBI volume property
  128. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  129. *
  130. * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
  131. * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
  132. * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
  133. * it should be set.
  134. *
  135. * Block devices on UBI volumes
  136. * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  137. *
  138. * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
  139. * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
  140. * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
  141. *
  142. * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
  143. * which takes no arguments.

  226. * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the

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