UBI: amend commentaries WRT dtype

2012-05-20T17:25:59+00:00

Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in the ubi-user.h for people who may ever wonder what was that dtype thing about. This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for the "dtype" field. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

UBI: use packed instead of attribute__((packed))

2011-04-14T08:34:41+00:00

There was an attempt to standartize various "__attribute__" and other macros in order to have potentially portable and more consistent code, see commit 82ddcb040570411fc2d421d96b3e69711c670328. Note, that commit refers Rober Love's blog post, but the URL is broken, the valid URL is: http://blog.rlove.org/2005/10/with-little-help-from-your-compiler.html Moreover, nowadays checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)): "WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))" It is not a big deal for UBI to use __packed, so let's do it.

UBI: cleanup comments around volume properties

UBI: re-name set volume properties ioctl

2011-04-14T08:34:40+00:00

Rename the ioctl which sets volume properties from 'UBI_IOCSETPROP' to 'UBI_IOCSETVOLPROP' to reflect the fact that this ioctl is about volume properties, not device properties. This is also consistent with the other volume ioctl name - 'UBI_IOCVOLUP'. The main motivation for the re-name, however, is that we are going to introduce the per-UBI device "set properties" ioctl, so we need good and logical naming. At the same time, re-name the "set volume properties request" data structure from 'struct ubi_set_prop_req' to 'struct ubi_set_vol_prop_req'. And re-name 'UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE' to 'UBI_VOL_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

make MTD headers use strict integer types

2009-03-26T17:14:17+00:00

The MTD headers traditionally use stdint types rather than the kernel integer types. This converts them to do the same as all the others. Cc: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

UBI: allow direct user-space I/O
