+/*
+ * This file implements UBIFS I/O subsystem which provides various I/O-related
+ * helper functions (reading/writing/checking/validating nodes) and implements
+ * write-buffering support. Write buffers help to save space which otherwise
+ * would have been wasted for padding to the nearest minimal I/O unit boundary.
+ * Instead, data first goes to the write-buffer and is flushed when the
+ * buffer is full or when it is not used for some time (by timer). This is
+ * similar to the mechanism is used by JFFS2.
+ *
+ * UBIFS distinguishes between minimum write size (@c->min_io_size) and maximum
+ * write size (@c->max_write_size). The latter is the maximum amount of bytes
+ * the underlying flash is able to program at a time, and writing in
+ * @c->max_write_size units should presumably be faster. Obviously,
+ * @c->min_io_size <= @c->max_write_size. Write-buffers are of
+ * @c->max_write_size bytes in size for maximum performance. However, when a
+ * write-buffer is flushed, only the portion of it (aligned to @c->min_io_size
+ * boundary) which contains data is written, not the whole write-buffer,
+ * because this is more space-efficient.
+ *
+ * This optimization adds few complications to the code. Indeed, on the one
+ * hand, we want to write in optimal @c->max_write_size bytes chunks, which
+ * also means aligning writes at the @c->max_write_size bytes offsets. On the
+ * other hand, we do not want to waste space when synchronizing the write
+ * buffer, so during synchronization we writes in smaller chunks. And this makes
+ * the next write offset to be not aligned to @c->max_write_size bytes. So the
+ * have to make sure that the write-buffer offset (@wbuf->offs) becomes aligned
+ * to @c->max_write_size bytes again. We do this by temporarily shrinking
+ * write-buffer size (@wbuf->size).
+ *
+ * Write-buffers are defined by 'struct ubifs_wbuf' objects and protected by
+ * mutexes defined inside these objects. Since sometimes upper-level code
+ * has to lock the write-buffer (e.g. journal space reservation code), many
+ * functions related to write-buffers have "nolock" suffix which means that the
+ * caller has to lock the write-buffer before calling this function.
+ *
+ * UBIFS stores nodes at 64 bit-aligned addresses. If the node length is not
+ * aligned, UBIFS starts the next node from the aligned address, and the padded
+ * bytes may contain any rubbish. In other words, UBIFS does not put padding
+ * bytes in those small gaps. Common headers of nodes store real node lengths,
+ * not aligned lengths. Indexing nodes also store real lengths in branches.
+ *
+ * UBIFS uses padding when it pads to the next min. I/O unit. In this case it
+ * uses padding nodes or padding bytes, if the padding node does not fit.
+ *
+ * All UBIFS nodes are protected by CRC checksums and UBIFS checks CRC when
+ * they are read from the flash media.
