+ * struct ubi_volume_info - UBI volume description data structure.
+ * @vol_id: volume ID
+ * @ubi_num: UBI device number this volume belongs to
+ * @size: how many physical eraseblocks are reserved for this volume
+ * @used_bytes: how many bytes of data this volume contains
+ * @used_ebs: how many physical eraseblocks of this volume actually contain any
+ * data
+ * @vol_type: volume type (%UBI_DYNAMIC_VOLUME or %UBI_STATIC_VOLUME)
+ * @corrupted: non-zero if the volume is corrupted (static volumes only)
+ * @upd_marker: non-zero if the volume has update marker set
+ * @alignment: volume alignment
+ * @usable_leb_size: how many bytes are available in logical eraseblocks of
+ * this volume
+ * @name_len: volume name length
+ * @name: volume name
+ * @cdev: UBI volume character device major and minor numbers
+ *
+ * The @corrupted flag is only relevant to static volumes and is always zero
+ * for dynamic ones. This is because UBI does not care about dynamic volume
+ * data protection and only cares about protecting static volume data.
+ *
+ * The @upd_marker flag is set if the volume update operation was interrupted.
+ * Before touching the volume data during the update operation, UBI first sets
+ * the update marker flag for this volume. If the volume update operation was
+ * further interrupted, the update marker indicates this. If the update marker
+ * is set, the contents of the volume is certainly damaged and a new volume
+ * update operation has to be started.
+ *
+ * To put it differently, @corrupted and @upd_marker fields have different
+ * semantics:
+ * o the @corrupted flag means that this static volume is corrupted for some
+ * reasons, but not because an interrupted volume update
+ * o the @upd_marker field means that the volume is damaged because of an
+ * interrupted update operation.
+ *
+ * I.e., the @corrupted flag is never set if the @upd_marker flag is set.
+ *
+ * The @used_bytes and @used_ebs fields are only really needed for static
+ * volumes and contain the number of bytes stored in this static volume and how
+ * many eraseblock this data occupies. In case of dynamic volumes, the
+ * @used_bytes field is equivalent to @size*@usable_leb_size, and the @used_ebs
+ * field is equivalent to @size.
+ *
+ * In general, logical eraseblock size is a property of the UBI device, not
+ * of the UBI volume. Indeed, the logical eraseblock size depends on the
+ * physical eraseblock size and on how much bytes UBI headers consume. But
+ * because of the volume alignment (@alignment), the usable size of logical
+ * eraseblocks if a volume may be less. The following equation is true:
+ * @usable_leb_size = LEB size - (LEB size mod @alignment),
+ * where LEB size is the logical eraseblock size defined by the UBI device.
+ *
+ * The alignment is multiple to the minimal flash input/output unit size or %1
+ * if all the available space is used.
+ *
+ * To put this differently, alignment may be considered is a way to change
+ * volume logical eraseblock sizes.

+ * struct ubi_device_info - UBI device description data structure.
+ * @ubi_num: ubi device number
+ * @leb_size: logical eraseblock size on this UBI device
+ * @leb_start: starting offset of logical eraseblocks within physical
+ * eraseblocks
+ * @min_io_size: minimal I/O unit size
+ * @max_write_size: maximum amount of bytes the underlying flash can write at a
+ * time (MTD write buffer size)
+ * @ro_mode: if this device is in read-only mode
+ * @cdev: UBI character device major and minor numbers
+ *
+ * Note, @leb_size is the logical eraseblock size offered by the UBI device.
+ * Volumes of this UBI device may have smaller logical eraseblock size if their
+ * alignment is not equivalent to %1.
+ *
+ * The @max_write_size field describes flash write maximum write unit. For
+ * example, NOR flash allows for changing individual bytes, so @min_io_size is
+ * %1. However, it does not mean than NOR flash has to write data byte-by-byte.
+ * Instead, CFI NOR flashes have a write-buffer of, e.g., 64 bytes, and when
+ * writing large chunks of data, they write 64-bytes at a time. Obviously, this
+ * improves write throughput.
+ *
+ * Also, the MTD device may have N interleaved (striped) flash chips
+ * underneath, in which case @min_io_size can be physical min. I/O size of
+ * single flash chip, while @max_write_size can be N * @min_io_size.
+ *
+ * The @max_write_size field is always greater or equivalent to @min_io_size.
+ * E.g., some NOR flashes may have (@min_io_size = 1, @max_write_size = 64). In
+ * contrast, NAND flashes usually have @min_io_size = @max_write_size = NAND
+ * page size.
