Artem Bityutskiy 866136827b UBI: introduce atomic LEB change ioctl
We have to be able to change individual LEBs for utilities like
ubifsck, ubifstune. For example, ubifsck has to be able to fix
errors on the media, ubifstune has to be able to change the
the superblock, hence this ioctl.

/*
* UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
* MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
* control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
* &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
* the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
* return value.
*
* UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
* An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
* control device.
*
* 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 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);
*
* Atomic eraseblock change
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
* 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.

* @padding: reserved for future, not used, has to be zeroed
*
* This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the
* parameters it has to use. The number which should be assigned to the new UBI
* device is passed in @ubi_num. UBI may automatically assign the number if
* @UBI_DEV_NUM_AUTO is passed. 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. For example, the boot-loader might do things faster if the
* VID header sits at the end of the first 2KiB NAND page with 4 sub-pages. As
* the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it needs
* UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird example,
* but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would be
* 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
* aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th sub-page
* of the first page and add needed padding.

* To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly
