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 &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.

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.
