ubiblk is a read-only block layer on top of UBI. It presents UBI volumes as read-only block devices. It is used by putting a block filesystem image on a UBI volume and then mounting the corresponding device (/dev/ubiblkX_Y where X is the UBI device number and Y the volume ID). It uses the UBI API to register to UBI notifications (to dynamically create and delete devices as volumes are added or removed) and to read from the volumes. Some code is taken from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi TODO: * the modules keeps a table of the devices which length is the maximum number of UBI volumes. It should make use of a linked list. Signed-off-by: David Wagner <david.wagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- updates from v2: * Added copyright information * Simplify the do_ubiblk_request loop * Fix a crash at module exit Advantages of ubiblk over gluebi+mtdblock_ro: * Simpler architecture * The numbering of devices is much easier with ubiblk than with gluebi+mtdblock_ro. With gluebi+mtdblock_ro, you get one additional MTD device for each UBI volume, so the number of MTD devices grows quite a lot and is a bit difficult to understand. For example, mtdblock[0-4] might be your real MTD partitions, while mtdblock[5-9] might be your UBI volumes. It also means that if a new real MTD partition is added, the number of all the MTD devices exposing UBI volumes will be incremented by one, which is a bit confusing/annoying. As well, if you add an UBI volume, the mtdblock devices that are emulated on top of volumes that come after this new one will have their ID incremented. * The performance appears to be slightly better with ubiblk than gluebi+mtdblock_ro, according to our benchmarks (see http://elinux.org/Flash_Filesystem_Benchmarks_2.6.39) drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig | 12 + drivers/mtd/ubi/Makefile | 1 + drivers/mtd/ubi/ubiblk.c | 556 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 569 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/mtd/ubi/ubiblk.c diff --git a/drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig b/drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig index 4dcc752..d19508b 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig @@ -60,4 +60,16 @@ config MTD_UBI_DEBUG help This option enables UBI debugging. +config MTD_UBI_UBIBLK + tristate "Read-only block transition layer on top of UBI" + help + Read-only block interface on top of UBI. + + This option adds ubiblk, which creates a read-ony block device for + each UBI volume.
