28 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
29 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
37 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
38 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
41 * control device.
43 * UBI volume creation
44 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
50 * UBI volume deletion
51 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
57 * UBI volume re-size
58 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
64 * UBI volumes re-name
65 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
71 * UBI volume update
72 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
81 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
82 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
83 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
84 * close(fd);
86 * Logical eraseblock erase
87 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
94 * Atomic logical eraseblock change
95 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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).
103 * Logical eraseblock map
104 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
113 * Logical eraseblock unmap
114 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
124 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
125 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
131 * Set an UBI volume property
132 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
139 * Block devices on UBI volumes
140 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
146 * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used,
147 * which takes no arguments.
151 * When a new UBI volume or UBI device is created, users may either specify the
152 * volume/device number they want to create or to let UBI automatically assign
153 * the number using these constants.

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

327 * To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly

374 * UBI allows to re-name up to %32 volumes at one go. The count of volumes to
375 * re-name is specified in the @count field. The ID of the volumes to re-name
376 * and the new names are specified in the @vol_id and @name fields.
378 * The UBI volume re-name operation is atomic, which means that should power cut
379 * happen, the volumes will have either old name or new name. So the possible
380 * use-cases of this command is atomic upgrade. Indeed, to upgrade, say, volumes
381 * A and B one may create temporary volumes %A1 and %B1 with the new contents,
382 * then atomically re-name A1->A and B1->B, in which case old %A and %B will
383 * be removed.
385 * If it is not desirable to remove old A and B, the re-name request has to

387 * become A and B, and old A and B will become A1 and B1.
389 * It is also OK to request: A1->A, A1->X, B1->B, B->Y, in which case old A1
390 * and B1 become A and B, and old A and B become X and Y.
