28
* UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
29
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30
*
31
* MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
32
* control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
33
* &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
34
* the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
35
* return value.
36
*
37
* UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
38
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39
*
40
* An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
41
* control device.
42
*
43
* UBI volume creation
44
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45
*
46
* UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
47
* device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
48
* pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
49
*
50
* UBI volume deletion
51
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
52
*
53
* To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
54
* device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
55
* to the ioctl.
56
*
57
* UBI volume re-size
58
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
59
*
60
* To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
61
* device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
62
* filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
63
*
64
* UBI volumes re-name
65
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66
*
67
* To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
68
* of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
69
* has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
70
*
71
* UBI volume update
72
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
73
*
74
* Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
75
* corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
76
* size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
77
* this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
78
* when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
79
* is something like:
80
*
81
* fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
82
* ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
83
* write(fd, buf, image_size);
84
* close(fd);
85
*
86
* Logical eraseblock erase
87
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
88
*
89
* To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
90
* corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
91
* unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
92
* physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
93
*
94
* Atomic logical eraseblock change
95
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
96
*
97
* Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
98
* ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
99
* a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
100
* user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
101
* should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
102
*
103
* Logical eraseblock map
104
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
105
*
106
* To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
107
* ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
108
* expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
109
* a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
110
* be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
111
* mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
112
*
113
* Logical eraseblock unmap
114
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
115
*
116
* To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
117
* ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
118
* schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
119
* the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
120
* erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
121
* after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
122
* physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
123
*
124
* Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
125
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
126
*
127
* To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
128
* %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
129
* not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
130
*
131
* Set an UBI volume property
132
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
133
*
134
* To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
135
* used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
136
* passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
137
* it should be set.
138
*
139
* Block devices on UBI volumes
140
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
141
*
142
* To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK
143
* should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected
144
* to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage.
145
*
146
* Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
147
* which takes no arguments.

254
*
255
* This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
256
* parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
257
* device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
258
* @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in
259
* @ubi_num.
260
*
261
* Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default
262
* offset of the VID header within physical eraseblocks. The default offset is
263
* the next min. I/O unit after the EC header. For example, it will be offset
264
* 512 in case of a 512 bytes page NAND flash with no sub-page support. Or
265
* it will be 512 in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with 4 512-byte sub-pages.
266
*
267
* But in rare cases, if this optimizes things, the VID header may be placed to
268
* a different offset. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if
269
* the VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages.
270
* As the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it
271
* needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
272
* example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
273
* be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
274
* aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
275
* sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
276
*
277
* The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
278
* UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks. This value is often given in an other form
279
* in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
280
* maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
281
* 1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
282
* Which gives 20 for most NAND devices. This limit is used in order to derive
283
* amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
284
* has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
285
* eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
286
* eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
287
* default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
288
*
289
* If @disable_fm is not zero, ubi doesn't create new fastmap even the module
290
* param 'fm_autoconvert' is set, and existed old fastmap will be destroyed
291
* after doing full scanning.
