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. * * Block devices on UBI volumes * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * To create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume the %UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK * should be used. A pointer to a &struct ubi_blkcreate_req object is expected * to be passed, which is not used and reserved for future usage. * * Conversely, to remove a block device the %UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK should be used, * which takes no arguments. */ /* * When a new UBI volume or UBI device is created, users may either specify the * volume/device number they want to create or to let UBI automatically assign * the number using these constants. */ #define UBI_VOL_NUM_AUTO (-1) #define UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO (-1) /* Maximum volume name length */ #define UBI_MAX_VOLUME_NAME 127 /* ioctl commands of UBI character devices */ #define UBI_IOC_MAGIC 'o' /* Create an UBI volume */ #define UBI_IOCMKVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 0, struct ubi_mkvol_req) /* Remove an UBI volume */ #define UBI_IOCRMVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 1, __s32) /* Re-size an UBI volume */ #define UBI_IOCRSVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 2, struct ubi_rsvol_req) /* Re-name volumes */ #define UBI_IOCRNVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct ubi_rnvol_req) /* ioctl commands of the UBI control character device */ #define UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC 'o' /* Attach an MTD device */ #define UBI_IOCATT _IOW(UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC, 64, struct ubi_attach_req) /* Detach an MTD device */ #define UBI_IOCDET _IOW(UBI_CTRL_IOC_MAGIC, 65, __s32) /* ioctl commands of UBI volume character devices */ #define UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC 'O' /* Start UBI volume update * Note: This actually takes a pointer (__s64*), but we can't change * that without breaking the ABI on 32bit systems */ #define UBI_IOCVOLUP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 0, __s64) /* LEB erasure command, used for debugging, disabled by default */ #define UBI_IOCEBER _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 1, __s32) /* Atomic LEB change command */ #define UBI_IOCEBCH _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 2, __s32) /* Map LEB command */ #define UBI_IOCEBMAP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct ubi_map_req) /* Unmap LEB command */ #define UBI_IOCEBUNMAP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 4, __s32) /* Check if LEB is mapped command */ #define UBI_IOCEBISMAP _IOR(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 5, __s32) /* Set an UBI volume property */ #define UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 6, \ struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req) /* Create a R/O block device on top of an UBI volume */ #define UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 7, struct ubi_blkcreate_req) /* Remove the R/O block device */ #define UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK _IO(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 8) /* Maximum MTD device name length supported by UBI */ #define MAX_UBI_MTD_NAME_LEN 127 /* Maximum amount of UBI volumes that can be re-named at one go */ #define UBI_MAX_RNVOL 32 /* * UBI volume type constants. * * @UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME: dynamic volume * @UBI_STATIC_VOLUME: static volume */ enum { UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME = 3, UBI_STATIC_VOLUME = 4, }; /* * UBI set volume property ioctl constants. * * @UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE: allow (any non-zero value) or disallow (value 0) * user to directly write and erase individual * eraseblocks on dynamic volumes */ enum { UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE = 1, }; /** * 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.

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.
