  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. */

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

  226. * device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
