- * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
- * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
- * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
- * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
- * return value.
- *
- * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
- * control device.
- *
- * UBI volume creation
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL ioctl command of UBI character
- * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
- * pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
- *
- * UBI volume deletion
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
- * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
- * to the ioctl.
- *
- * UBI volume re-size
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character
- * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
- * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
- *
- * UBI volumes re-name
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL command
- * of the UBI character device should be used. A &struct ubi_rnvol_req object
- * has to be properly filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
- *
- * UBI volume update
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP ioctl command of the
- * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
- * size should be passed to the ioctl. After this, UBI expects user to write
- * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
- * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
- * is something like:
- *
- * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
- * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
- * write(fd, buf, image_size);
- * close(fd);
- *
- * Logical eraseblock erase
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To erase a logical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBER ioctl command of the
- * corresponding UBI volume character device should be used. This command
- * unmaps the requested logical eraseblock, makes sure the corresponding
- * physical eraseblock is successfully erased, and returns.
- *
- * Atomic logical eraseblock change
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH
- * ioctl command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
- * a &struct ubi_leb_change_req object has to be passed to the ioctl. Then the
- * user is expected to write the requested amount of bytes (similarly to what
- * should be done in case of the "volume update" ioctl).
- *
- * Logical eraseblock map
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP
- * ioctl command should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_map_req object is
- * expected to be passed. The ioctl maps the requested logical eraseblock to
- * a physical eraseblock and returns. Only non-mapped logical eraseblocks can
- * be mapped. If the logical eraseblock specified in the request is already
- * mapped to a physical eraseblock, the ioctl fails and returns error.
- *
- * Logical eraseblock unmap
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
- * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
- * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
- * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
- * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
- * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
- * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
- *
- * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the
- * %UBI_IOCEBISMAP ioctl command should be used. It returns %0 if the LEB is
- * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.
- *
- * Set an UBI volume property
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
- * used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req object is expected to be
- * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
- * it should be set.

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