+config MTD_UBI
+	tristate "Enable UBI"
+	depends on MTD
+	select CRC32
+	help
+	  UBI is a software layer above MTD layer which admits of LVM-like
+	  logical volumes on top of MTD devices, hides some complexities of
+	  flash chips like wear and bad blocks and provides some other useful
+	  capabilities. Please, consult the MTD web site for more details
+	  (www.linux-mtd.infradead.org).
+
+config MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
+	int "UBI wear-leveling threshold"
+	default 4096
+	range 2 65536
+	depends on MTD_UBI
+	help
+	  This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
+	  erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
+	  of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
+	  wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
+	  counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. Leave the default
+	  value if unsure.
+
+config MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE
+	int "Percentage of reserved eraseblocks for bad eraseblocks handling"
+	default 1
+	range 0 25
+	depends on MTD_UBI
+	help
+	  If the MTD device admits of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NAND flash), UBI
+	  reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks to handle new bad
+	  eraseblocks. For example, if a flash physical eraseblock becomes bad,
+	  UBI uses these reserved physical eraseblocks to relocate the bad one.
+	  This option specifies how many physical eraseblocks will be reserved
+	  for bad eraseblock handling (percents of total number of good flash
+	  eraseblocks). If the underlying flash does not admit of bad
+	  eraseblocks (e.g. NOR flash), this value is ignored and nothing is
+	  reserved. Leave the default value if unsure.
+
+config MTD_UBI_GLUEBI
+	bool "Emulate MTD devices"
+	default n
+	depends on MTD_UBI
+	help
+	   This option enables MTD devices emulation on top of UBI volumes: for
+	   each UBI volumes an MTD device is created, and all I/O to this MTD
+	   device is redirected to the UBI volume. This is handy to make
+	   MTD-oriented software (like JFFS2) work on top of UBI. Do not enable
+	   this if no legacy software will be used.

+/*
+ * UBI input/output unit.
+ *
+ * This unit provides a uniform way to work with all kinds of the underlying
+ * MTD devices. It also implements handy functions for reading and writing UBI
+ * headers.
+ *
+ * We are trying to have a paranoid mindset and not to trust to what we read
+ * from the flash media in order to be more secure and robust. So this unit
+ * validates every single header it reads from the flash media.
+ *
+ * Some words about how the eraseblock headers are stored.
+ *
+ * The erase counter header is always stored at offset zero. By default, the
+ * VID header is stored after the EC header at the closest aligned offset
+ * (i.e. aligned to the minimum I/O unit size). Data starts next to the VID
+ * header at the closest aligned offset. But this default layout may be
+ * changed. For example, for different reasons (e.g., optimization) UBI may be
+ * asked to put the VID header at further offset, and even at an unaligned
+ * offset. Of course, if the offset of the VID header is unaligned, UBI adds
+ * proper padding in front of it. Data offset may also be changed but it has to
+ * be aligned.
+ *
+ * About minimal I/O units. In general, UBI assumes flash device model where
+ * there is only one minimal I/O unit size. E.g., in case of NOR flash it is 1,
+ * in case of NAND flash it is a NAND page, etc. This is reported by MTD in the
+ * @ubi->mtd->writesize field. But as an exception, UBI admits of using another
+ * (smaller) minimal I/O unit size for EC and VID headers to make it possible
+ * to do different optimizations.
+ *
+ * This is extremely useful in case of NAND flashes which admit of several
+ * write operations to one NAND page. In this case UBI can fit EC and VID
+ * headers at one NAND page. Thus, UBI may use "sub-page" size as the minimal
+ * I/O unit for the headers (the @ubi->hdrs_min_io_size field). But it still
+ * reports NAND page size (@ubi->min_io_size) as a minimal I/O unit for the UBI
+ * users.
+ *
+ * Example: some Samsung NANDs with 2KiB pages allow 4x 512-byte writes, so
+ * although the minimal I/O unit is 2K, UBI uses 512 bytes for EC and VID
+ * headers.
+ *
+ * Q: why not just to treat sub-page as a minimal I/O unit of this flash
+ * device, e.g., make @ubi->min_io_size = 512 in the example above?
+ *
+ * A: because when writing a sub-page, MTD still writes a full 2K page but the
+ * bytes which are no relevant to the sub-page are 0xFF. So, basically, writing
+ * 4x512 sub-pages is 4 times slower then writing one 2KiB NAND page. Thus, we
+ * prefer to use sub-pages only for EV and VID headers.
+ *
+ * As it was noted above, the VID header may start at a non-aligned offset.
+ * For example, in case of a 2KiB page NAND flash with a 512 bytes sub-page,
+ * the VID header may reside at offset 1984 which is the last 64 bytes of the
+ * last sub-page (EC header is always at offset zero). This causes some
+ * difficulties when reading and writing VID headers.
+ *
+ * Suppose we have a 64-byte buffer and we read a VID header at it. We change
+ * the data and want to write this VID header out. As we can only write in
+ * 512-byte chunks, we have to allocate one more buffer and copy our VID header
+ * to offset 448 of this buffer.
+ *
+ * The I/O unit does the following trick in order to avoid this extra copy.
+ * It always allocates a @ubi->vid_hdr_alsize bytes buffer for the VID header
+ * and returns a pointer to offset @ubi->vid_hdr_shift of this buffer. When the
+ * VID header is being written out, it shifts the VID header pointer back and
+ * writes the whole sub-page.

+ * This function un-maps logical eraseblock @lnum and schedules the
+ * corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, so that it will eventually be
+ * physically erased in background. This operation is much faster then the
+ * erase operation.
+ *
+ * Unlike erase, the un-map operation does not guarantee that the logical
+ * eraseblock will contain all 0xFF bytes when UBI is initialized again. For
+ * example, if several logical eraseblocks are un-mapped, and an unclean reboot
+ * happens after this, the logical eraseblocks will not necessarily be
+ * un-mapped again when this MTD device is attached. They may actually be
+ * mapped to the same physical eraseblocks again. So, this function has to be
+ * used with care.
+ *
+ * In other words, when un-mapping a logical eraseblock, UBI does not store
+ * any information about this on the flash media, it just marks the logical
+ * eraseblock as "un-mapped" in RAM. If UBI is detached before the physical
+ * eraseblock is physically erased, it will be mapped again to the same logical
+ * eraseblock when the MTD device is attached again.
+ *
+ * The main and obvious use-case of this function is when the contents of a
+ * logical eraseblock has to be re-written. Then it is much more efficient to
+ * first un-map it, then write new data, rather then first erase it, then write
+ * new data. Note, once new data has been written to the logical eraseblock,
+ * UBI guarantees that the old contents has gone forever. In other words, if an
+ * unclean reboot happens after the logical eraseblock has been un-mapped and
+ * then written to, it will contain the last written data.

+ * This function returns zero in case of success and a negative error code in
+ * case of failure. If the volume is damaged because of an interrupted update

+ * This file includes volume table manipulation code. The volume table is an
+ * on-flash table containing volume meta-data like name, number of reserved
+ * physical eraseblocks, type, etc. The volume table is stored in the so-called
+ * "layout volume".
+ *
+ * The layout volume is an internal volume which is organized as follows. It
+ * consists of two logical eraseblocks - LEB 0 and LEB 1. Each logical
+ * eraseblock stores one volume table copy, i.e. LEB 0 and LEB 1 duplicate each
+ * other. This redundancy guarantees robustness to unclean reboots. The volume
+ * table is basically an array of volume table records. Each record contains
+ * full information about the volume and protected by a CRC checksum.
+ *
+ * The volume table is changed, it is first changed in RAM. Then LEB 0 is
+ * erased, and the updated volume table is written back to LEB 0. Then same for
+ * LEB 1. This scheme guarantees recoverability from unclean reboots.
+ *
+ * In this UBI implementation the on-flash volume table does not contain any
+ * information about how many data static volumes contain. This information may
+ * be found from the scanning data.
+ *
+ * But it would still be beneficial to store this information in the volume
+ * table. For example, suppose we have a static volume X, and all its physical
+ * eraseblocks became bad for some reasons. Suppose we are attaching the
+ * corresponding MTD device, the scanning has found no logical eraseblocks
+ * corresponding to the volume X. According to the volume table volume X does
+ * exist. So we don't know whether it is just empty or all its physical
+ * eraseblocks went bad. So we cannot alarm the user about this corruption.
+ *
+ * The volume table also stores so-called "update marker", which is used for
+ * volume updates. Before updating the volume, the update marker is set, and
+ * after the update operation is finished, the update marker is cleared. So if
+ * the update operation was interrupted (e.g. by an unclean reboot) - the
+ * update marker is still there and we know that the volume's contents is
+ * damaged.

+ * UBI wear-leveling unit.
+ *
+ * This unit is responsible for wear-leveling. It works in terms of physical
+ * eraseblocks and erase counters and knows nothing about logical eraseblocks,
+ * volumes, etc. From this unit's perspective all physical eraseblocks are of
+ * two types - used and free. Used physical eraseblocks are those that were
+ * "get" by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' function, and free physical eraseblocks are
+ * those that were put by the 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function.
+ *
+ * Physical eraseblocks returned by 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' have only erase counter
+ * header. The rest of the physical eraseblock contains only 0xFF bytes.
+ *
+ * When physical eraseblocks are returned to the WL unit by means of the
+ * 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function, they are scheduled for erasure. The erasure is
+ * done asynchronously in context of the per-UBI device background thread,
+ * which is also managed by the WL unit.
+ *
+ * The wear-leveling is ensured by means of moving the contents of used
+ * physical eraseblocks with low erase counter to free physical eraseblocks
+ * with high erase counter.
+ *
+ * The 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' function accepts data type hints which help to pick
+ * an "optimal" physical eraseblock. For example, when it is known that the
+ * physical eraseblock will be "put" soon because it contains short-term data,
+ * the WL unit may pick a free physical eraseblock with low erase counter, and
+ * so forth.
+ *
+ * If the WL unit fails to erase a physical eraseblock, it marks it as bad.
+ *
+ * This unit is also responsible for scrubbing. If a bit-flip is detected in a
+ * physical eraseblock, it has to be moved. Technically this is the same as
+ * moving it for wear-leveling reasons.
+ *
+ * As it was said, for the UBI unit all physical eraseblocks are either "free"
+ * or "used". Free eraseblock are kept in the @wl->free RB-tree, while used
+ * eraseblocks are kept in a set of different RB-trees: @wl->used,
+ * @wl->prot.pnum, @wl->prot.aec, and @wl->scrub.
+ *
+ * Note, in this implementation, we keep a small in-RAM object for each physical
+ * eraseblock. This is surely not a scalable solution. But it appears to be good
+ * enough for moderately large flashes and it is simple. In future, one may
+ * re-work this unit and make it more scalable.
+ *
+ * At the moment this unit does not utilize the sequence number, which was
+ * introduced relatively recently. But it would be wise to do this because the
+ * sequence number of a logical eraseblock characterizes how old is it. For
+ * example, when we move a PEB with low erase counter, and we need to pick the
+ * target PEB, we pick a PEB with the highest EC if our PEB is "old" and we
+ * pick target PEB with an average EC if our PEB is not very "old". This is a
+ * room for future re-works of the WL unit.
+ *
+ * FIXME: looks too complex, should be simplified (later).

+ * @rb_aec: link in the @wl->prot.aec RB-tree
+ * @abs_ec: the absolute erase counter value when the protection ends
+ * @e: the wear-leveling entry of the physical eraseblock under protection
+ *
+ * When the WL unit returns a physical eraseblock, the physical eraseblock is
+ * protected from being moved for some "time". For this reason, the physical
+ * eraseblock is not directly moved from the @wl->free tree to the @wl->used
+ * tree. There is one more tree in between where this physical eraseblock is
+ * temporarily stored (@wl->prot).
+ *
+ * All this protection stuff is needed because:
+ *  o we don't want to move physical eraseblocks just after we have given them
+ *    to the user; instead, we first want to let users fill them up with data;
+ *
+ *  o there is a chance that the user will put the physical eraseblock very
+ *    soon, so it makes sense not to move it for some time, but wait; this is
+ *    especially important in case of "short term" physical eraseblocks.
+ *
+ * Physical eraseblocks stay protected only for limited time. But the "time" is
+ * measured in erase cycles in this case. This is implemented with help of the
+ * absolute erase counter (@wl->abs_ec). When it reaches certain value, the
+ * physical eraseblocks are moved from the protection trees (@wl->prot.*) to
+ * the @wl->used tree.
+ *
+ * Protected physical eraseblocks are searched by physical eraseblock number
+ * (when they are put) and by the absolute erase counter (to check if it is
+ * time to move them to the @wl->used tree). So there are actually 2 RB-trees
+ * storing the protected physical eraseblocks: @wl->prot.pnum and
+ * @wl->prot.aec. They are referred to as the "protection" trees. The
+ * first one is indexed by the physical eraseblock number. The second one is
+ * indexed by the absolute erase counter. Both trees store
+ * &struct ubi_wl_prot_entry objects.
+ *
+ * Each physical eraseblock has 2 main states: free and used. The former state
+ * corresponds to the @wl->free tree. The latter state is split up on several
+ * sub-states:
+ * o the WL movement is allowed (@wl->used tree);
+ * o the WL movement is temporarily prohibited (@wl->prot.pnum and
+ * @wl->prot.aec trees);
+ * o scrubbing is needed (@wl->scrub tree).
+ *
+ * Depending on the sub-state, wear-leveling entries of the used physical
+ * eraseblocks may be kept in one of those trees.
