25
 * UBI volume creation
26
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27
 *
28
 * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL IOCTL command of UBI character
29
 * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
30
 * pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
31
 *
32
 * UBI volume deletion
33
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
34
 *
35
 * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
36
 * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
37
 * to the IOCTL.
38
 *
39
 * UBI volume re-size
40
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
41
 *
42
 * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
43
 * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
44
 * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
45
 *
46
 * UBI volume update
47
 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
48
 *
49
 * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP IOCTL command of the
50
 * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
51
 * size should be passed to the IOCTL. After then, UBI expects user to write
52
 * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
53
 * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
54
 * is something like:
55
 *
56
 * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
57
 * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
58
 * write(fd, buf, image_size);
59
 * close(fd);

62
/*
63
 * When a new volume is created, users may either specify the volume number they
64
 * want to create or to let UBI automatically assign a volume number using this
65
 * constant.

104
 * struct ubi_mkvol_req - volume description data structure used in

107

 * @name_len: volume name length
112
 * @padding2: reserved for future, not used
113
 * @name: volume name
114
 *
115
 * This structure is used by userspace programs when creating new volumes. The
116
 * @used_bytes field is only necessary when creating static volumes.
117
 *
118
 * The @alignment field specifies the required alignment of the volume logical
119
 * eraseblock. This means, that the size of logical eraseblocks will be aligned
120
 * to this number, i.e.,
121
 *      (UBI device logical eraseblock size) mod (@alignment) = 0.
122
 *
123
 * To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly
124
 * shortened in order to make it properly aligned. The alignment has to be
125
 * multiple of the flash minimal input/output unit, or %1 to utilize the entire
126
 * available space of logical eraseblocks.
127
 *
128
 * The @alignment field may be useful, for example, when one wants to maintain
129
 * a block device on top of an UBI volume. In this case, it is desirable to fit
130
 * an integer number of blocks in logical eraseblocks of this UBI volume. With
131
 * alignment it is possible to update this volume using plane UBI volume image
132
 * BLOBs, without caring about how to properly align them.
