* UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)

* UBI volume creation

+ * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL ioctl command of the UBI character

*
* UBI volume re-size
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
- * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
+ * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL ioctl command of the UBI character

+ * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the ioctl.
+ *
+ * UBI volumes re-name
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * To re-name several volumes atomically at one go, the %UBI_IOCRNVOL 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:
* write(fd, buf, image_size);
* close(fd);
*
- * Atomic eraseblock change
+ * 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
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
- * 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.
+ * 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. A pointer to a &struct ubi_set_prop_req object is expected to be
+ * passed. The object describes which property should be set, and to which value
+ * it should be set.
