/*
* 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);
*
* Atomic eraseblock change
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
* Atomic eraseblock change operation is done via the %UBI_IOCEBCH IOCTL
* command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
* &struct ubi_leb_change_req has to be passed to the IOCTL. Then the user is
* expected to write the requested amount of bytes. This is similar to the
* "volume update" IOCTL.

* @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.

* to this number, i.e.,
* (UBI device logical eraseblock size) mod (@alignment) = 0.
*
* To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly
* shortened in order to make it properly aligned. The alignment has to be
* multiple of the flash minimal input/output unit, or %1 to utilize the entire
* available space of logical eraseblocks.
*
* The @alignment field may be useful, for example, when one wants to maintain
* a block device on top of an UBI volume. In this case, it is desirable to fit
* an integer number of blocks in logical eraseblocks of this UBI volume. With
* alignment it is possible to update this volume using plane UBI volume image
* BLOBs, without caring about how to properly align them.

* A and B one may create temporary volumes %A1 and %B1 with the new contents,
* then atomically re-name A1->A and B1->B, in which case old %A and %B will
