42 * struct ubi_volume_info - UBI volume description data structure.
43 * @vol_id: volume ID
44 * @ubi_num: UBI device number this volume belongs to
45 * @size: how many physical eraseblocks are reserved for this volume
46 * @used_bytes: how many bytes of data this volume contains
47 * @used_ebs: how many physical eraseblocks of this volume actually contain any
48 * data
49 * @vol_type: volume type (%UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME or %UBI_STATIC_VOLUME)
50 * @corrupted: non-zero if the volume is corrupted (static volumes only)
51 * @upd_marker: non-zero if the volume has update marker set
52 * @alignment: volume alignment
53 * @usable_leb_size: how many bytes are available in logical eraseblocks of
54 * this volume
55 * @name_len: volume name length
56 * @name: volume name
57 * @cdev: UBI volume character device major and minor numbers
59 * The @corrupted flag is only relevant to static volumes and is always zero
60 * for dynamic ones. This is because UBI does not care about dynamic volume
61 * data protection and only cares about protecting static volume data.
63 * The @upd_marker flag is set if the volume update operation was interrupted.
64 * Before touching the volume data during the update operation, UBI first sets
65 * the update marker flag for this volume. If the volume update operation was
66 * further interrupted, the update marker indicates this. If the update marker
67 * is set, the contents of the volume is certainly damaged and a new volume
68 * update operation has to be started.
70 * To put it differently, @corrupted and @upd_marker fields have different
71 * semantics:
72 * o the @corrupted flag means that this static volume is corrupted for some
73 * reasons, but not because an interrupted volume update
74 * o the @upd_marker field means that the volume is damaged because of an
75 * interrupted update operation.
77 * I.e., the @corrupted flag is never set if the @upd_marker flag is set.
79 * The @used_bytes and @used_ebs fields are only really needed for static
80 * volumes and contain the number of bytes stored in this static volume and how
81 * many eraseblock this data occupies. In case of dynamic volumes, the
82 * @used_bytes field is equivalent to @size*@usable_leb_size, and the @used_ebs
83 * field is equivalent to @size.
85 * In general, logical eraseblock size is a property of the UBI device, not
86 * of the UBI volume. Indeed, the logical eraseblock size depends on the
87 * physical eraseblock size and on how much bytes UBI headers consume. But
88 * because of the volume alignment (@alignment), the usable size of logical
89 * eraseblocks if a volume may be less. The following equation is true:
90 * @usable_leb_size = LEB size - (LEB size mod @alignment),
91 * where LEB size is the logical eraseblock size defined by the UBI device.
93 * The alignment is multiple to the minimal flash input/output unit size or %1
94 * if all the available space is used.
96 * To put this differently, alignment may be considered is a way to change
97 * volume logical eraseblock sizes.
