* 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 then, 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);
*/
/*
* When a new volume is created, users may either specify the volume number they
* want to create or to let UBI automatically assign a volume number using this
* constant.

* @padding1: reserved for future, not used
* @name_len: volume name length
* @padding2: reserved for future, not used

*
* This structure is used by userspace programs when creating new volumes. The
* @used_bytes field is only necessary when creating static volumes.
*
* The @alignment field specifies the required alignment of the volume logical
* eraseblock. This means, that the size of logical eraseblocks will be aligned
* to this number, i.e.,
* (UBI device logical eraseblock size) mod (@alignment) = 0.
*
* To put it differently, the logical eraseblock of this volume may be slightly
* shortened in order to make it properly aligned. The alignment has to be
* multiple of the flash minimal input/output unit, or %1 to utilize the entire
* available space of logical eraseblocks.
*
* The @alignment field may be useful, for example, when one wants to maintain
* a block device on top of an UBI volume. In this case, it is desirable to fit
* an integer number of blocks in logical eraseblocks of this UBI volume. With
* alignment it is possible to update this volume using plane UBI volume image
* BLOBs, without caring about how to properly align them.
