- * 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 then, 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);

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

- * struct ubi_mkvol_req - volume description data structure used in

- * @vol_id: volume number
- * @alignment: volume alignment
- * @bytes: volume size in bytes
- * @vol_type: volume type (%UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME or %UBI_STATIC_VOLUME)
- * @padding1: reserved for future, not used
- * @name_len: volume name length
- * @padding2: reserved for future, not used
- * @name: volume name
- *
- * This structure is used by userspace programs when creating new volumes. The
- * @used_bytes field is only necessary when creating static volumes.
- *
- * The @alignment field specifies the required alignment of the volume logical
- * eraseblock. This means, that the size of logical eraseblocks will be aligned
- * 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.
