25 * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
26 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27 *
28 * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
29 * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
30 * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
31 * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
32 * return value.
33 *
34 * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
35 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
36 *
37 * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
38 * control device.
39 *
801c135c
AB
40 * UBI volume creation
41 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
42 *
f7fc6f3f 43 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
801c135c 44 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
f7fc6f3f 45 * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
801c135c
AB
46 *
47 * UBI volume deletion
48 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
49 *
f7fc6f3f 50 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
801c135c 51 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
f7fc6f3f 52 * to the ioctl.
801c135c
AB
53 *
54 * UBI volume re-size
55 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
56 *
f7fc6f3f 57 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
801c135c 58 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
f7fc6f3f 59 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
801c135c 60 *
f40ac9cd
AB
61 * UBI volumes re-name
62 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
63 *
64 * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
65 * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
f7fc6f3f 66 * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
f40ac9cd 67 *
801c135c
AB
68 * UBI volume update
69 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
70 *
f7fc6f3f 71 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
801c135c 72 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
f7fc6f3f 73 * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
801c135c
AB
74 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
75 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
76 * is something like:
77 *
78 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
79 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
80 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
81 * close(fd);
86613682 82 *
f7fc6f3f 83 * Logical eraseblock erase
86613682
AB
84 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
85 *
f7fc6f3f
AB
86 * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
87 * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
88 * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
89 * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
90 *
91 * Atomic logical eraseblock change
92 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
93 *
94 * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
95 * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
96 * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
97 * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
98 * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
99 *
100 * Logical eraseblock map
101 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
102 *
103 * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
104 * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
105 * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
106 * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
107 * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
108 * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
109 *
110 * Logical eraseblock unmap
111 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
112 *
113 * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
114 * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
115 * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
116 * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
117 * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
118 * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
119 * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
120 *
121 * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
122 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
123 *
124 * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
125 * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
126 * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
766fb95b
SA
127 *
128 * Set an UBI volume property
129 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
130 *
131 * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
132 * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_prop_req object is expected to be
133 * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
134 * it should be set.

243 * @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. In this case, the device number is returned in

245 *
246 * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default

259 * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
