53 * @UBI_VID_STATIC: static volume
61 * Volume flags used in the volume table record.
63 * @UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG: auto-resize this volume
65 * %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG flag can be set only for one volume in the volume
66 * table. UBI automatically re-sizes the volume which has this flag and makes
67 * the volume to be of largest possible size. This means that if after the
68 * initialization UBI finds out that there are available physical eraseblocks
69 * present on the device, it automatically appends all of them to the volume
70 * (the physical eraseblocks reserved for bad eraseblocks handling and other
71 * reserved physical eraseblocks are not taken). So, if there is a volume with
72 * the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG flag set, the amount of available logical
73 * eraseblocks will be zero after UBI is loaded, because all of them will be
74 * reserved for this volume. Note, the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG bit is cleared
75 * after the volume had been initialized.
77 * The auto-resize feature is useful for device production purposes. For
78 * example, different NAND flash chips may have different amount of initial bad
79 * eraseblocks, depending of particular chip instance. Manufacturers of NAND
80 * chips usually guarantee that the amount of initial bad eraseblocks does not
81 * exceed certain percent, e.g. 2%. When one creates an UBI image which will be
82 * flashed to the end devices in production, he does not know the exact amount
83 * of good physical eraseblocks the NAND chip on the device will have, but this
84 * number is required to calculate the volume sized and put them to the volume
85 * table of the UBI image. In this case, one of the volumes (e.g., the one
86 * which will store the root file system) is marked as "auto-resizable", and
87 * UBI will adjust its size on the first boot if needed.
89 * Note, first UBI reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks for bad
90 * eraseblock handling, and then re-sizes the volume, not vice-versa. This
91 * means that the pool of reserved physical eraseblocks will always be present.

177 * @padding2: reserved for future, zeroes
178 * @sqnum: sequence number
179 * @padding3: reserved for future, zeroes
180 * @hdr_crc: volume identifier header CRC checksum
182 * The @sqnum is the value of the global sequence counter at the time when this
183 * VID header was created. The global sequence counter is incremented each time
184 * UBI writes a new VID header to the flash, i.e. when it maps a logical
185 * eraseblock to a new physical eraseblock. The global sequence counter is an
186 * unsigned 64-bit integer and we assume it never overflows. The @sqnum
187 * (sequence number) is used to distinguish between older and newer versions of
188 * logical eraseblocks.
190 * There are 2 situations when there may be more than one physical eraseblock
191 * corresponding to the same logical eraseblock, i.e., having the same @vol_id
192 * and @lnum values in the volume identifier header. Suppose we have a logical
193 * eraseblock L and it is mapped to the physical eraseblock P.
195 * 1. Because UBI may erase physical eraseblocks asynchronously, the following
196 * situation is possible: L is asynchronously erased, so P is scheduled for
197 * erasure, then L is written to,i.e. mapped to another physical eraseblock P1,
198 * so P1 is written to, then an unclean reboot happens. Result - there are 2
199 * physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to the same logical eraseblock
200 * L. But P1 has greater sequence number, so UBI picks P1 when it attaches the
203 * 2. From time to time UBI moves logical eraseblocks to other physical
204 * eraseblocks for wear-leveling reasons. If, for example, UBI moves L from P
205 * to P1, and an unclean reboot happens before P is physically erased, there
206 * are two physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to L and UBI has to
207 * select one of them when the flash is attached. The @sqnum field says which
208 * PEB is the original (obviously P will have lower @sqnum) and the copy. But
209 * it is not enough to select the physical eraseblock with the higher sequence
210 * number, because the unclean reboot could have happen in the middle of the
211 * copying process, so the data in P is corrupted. It is also not enough to
212 * just select the physical eraseblock with lower sequence number, because the
213 * data there may be old (consider a case if more data was added to P1 after
214 * the copying). Moreover, the unclean reboot may happen when the erasure of P
215 * was just started, so it result in unstable P, which is "mostly" OK, but
216 * still has unstable bits.
218 * UBI uses the @copy_flag field to indicate that this logical eraseblock is a
219 * copy. UBI also calculates data CRC when the data is moved and stores it at
220 * the @data_crc field of the copy (P1). So when UBI needs to pick one physical
221 * eraseblock of two (P or P1), the @copy_flag of the newer one (P1) is
222 * examined. If it is cleared, the situation* is simple and the newer one is
223 * picked. If it is set, the data CRC of the copy (P1) is examined. If the CRC
224 * checksum is correct, this physical eraseblock is selected (P1). Otherwise
225 * the older one (P) is selected.
227 * There are 2 sorts of volumes in UBI: user volumes and internal volumes.
228 * Internal volumes are not seen from outside and are used for various internal
229 * UBI purposes. In this implementation there is only one internal volume - the
230 * layout volume. Internal volumes are the main mechanism of UBI extensions.
231 * For example, in future one may introduce a journal internal volume. Internal
232 * volumes have their own reserved range of IDs.
234 * The @compat field is only used for internal volumes and contains the "degree
235 * of their compatibility". It is always zero for user volumes. This field
236 * provides a mechanism to introduce UBI extensions and to be still compatible
237 * with older UBI binaries. For example, if someone introduced a journal in
238 * future, he would probably use %UBI_COMPAT_DELETE compatibility for the
239 * journal volume. And in this case, older UBI binaries, which know nothing
240 * about the journal volume, would just delete this volume and work perfectly
241 * fine. This is similar to what Ext2fs does when it is fed by an Ext3fs image
242 * - it just ignores the Ext3fs journal.
244 * The @data_crc field contains the CRC checksum of the contents of the logical
245 * eraseblock if this is a static volume. In case of dynamic volumes, it does
246 * not contain the CRC checksum as a rule. The only exception is when the
247 * data of the physical eraseblock was moved by the wear-leveling sub-system,
248 * then the wear-leveling sub-system calculates the data CRC and stores it in
249 * the @data_crc field. And of course, the @copy_flag is %in this case.
251 * The @data_size field is used only for static volumes because UBI has to know
252 * how many bytes of data are stored in this eraseblock. For dynamic volumes,
253 * this field usually contains zero. The only exception is when the data of the
254 * physical eraseblock was moved to another physical eraseblock for
255 * wear-leveling reasons. In this case, UBI calculates CRC checksum of the
256 * contents and uses both @data_crc and @data_size fields. In this case, the
257 * @data_size field contains data size.
259 * The @used_ebs field is used only for static volumes and indicates how many
260 * eraseblocks the data of the volume takes. For dynamic volumes this field is
261 * not used and always contains zero.
263 * The @data_pad is calculated when volumes are created using the alignment
264 * parameter. So, effectively, the @data_pad field reduces the size of logical
265 * eraseblocks of this volume. This is very handy when one uses block-oriented
266 * software (say, cramfs) on top of the UBI volume.

331 * The volume table records are stored in the volume table, which is stored in
332 * the layout volume. The layout volume consists of 2 logical eraseblock, each
333 * of which contains a copy of the volume table (i.e., the volume table is
334 * duplicated). The volume table is an array of &struct ubi_vtbl_record
335 * objects indexed by the volume ID.
337 * If the size of the logical eraseblock is large enough to fit
338 * %UBI_MAX_VOLUMES records, the volume table contains %UBI_MAX_VOLUMES
339 * records. Otherwise, it contains as many records as it can fit (i.e., size of
340 * logical eraseblock divided by sizeof(struct ubi_vtbl_record)).
342 * The @upd_marker flag is used to implement volume update. It is set to %1
343 * before update and set to %0 after the update. So if the update operation was
344 * interrupted, UBI knows that the volume is corrupted.
346 * The @alignment field is specified when the volume is created and cannot be
347 * later changed. It may be useful, for example, when a block-oriented file
348 * system works on top of UBI. The @data_pad field is calculated using the
349 * logical eraseblock size and @alignment. The alignment must be multiple to the
350 * minimal flash I/O unit. If @alignment is 1, all the available space of
351 * the physical eraseblocks is used.
353 * Empty records contain all zeroes and the CRC checksum of those zeroes.
