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 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. */ /* * 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, int32_t) /* Re-size an UBI volume */ #define UBI_IOCRSVOL _IOW(UBI_IOC_MAGIC, 2, struct ubi_rsvol_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, int32_t) /* IOCTL commands of UBI volume character devices */ #define UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC 'O' /* Start UBI volume update */ #define UBI_IOCVOLUP _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 0, int64_t) /* An eraseblock erasure command, used for debugging, disabled by default */ #define UBI_IOCEBER _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 1, int32_t) /* An atomic eraseblock change command */ #define UBI_IOCEBCH _IOW(UBI_VOL_IOC_MAGIC, 2, int32_t) /* Maximum MTD device name length supported by UBI */ #define MAX_UBI_MTD_NAME_LEN 127 /* * UBI data type hint constants. * * UBI_LONGTERM: long-term data * UBI_SHORTTERM: short-term data * UBI_UNKNOWN: data persistence is unknown * * These constants are used when data is written to UBI volumes in order to * help the UBI wear-leveling unit to find more appropriate physical * eraseblocks. */ enum { UBI_LONGTERM = 1, UBI_SHORTTERM = 2, UBI_UNKNOWN = 3, }; /* * UBI volume type constants. * * @UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME: dynamic volume * @UBI_STATIC_VOLUME: static volume */ enum { UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME = 3, UBI_STATIC_VOLUME = 4, }; /** * 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) * @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.
