[PATCHv8] UBI: new module ubiblk: block layer on top of UBI

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ubiblk is a read-only block layer on top of UBI.  It presents UBI volumes as
read-only block devices (named ubiblkX_Y, where X is the UBI device number
and Y the Volume ID).

It is used by putting a block filesystem image on a UBI volume, creating the
corresponding ubiblk device and then mounting it.

It uses the UBI API to register to UBI notifications and to read from the
volumes.  It also creates a ubiblk_ctrl device node that simply receives ioctl
from a userspace tool for creating/removing ubiblk devices.

Some code is taken from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi.  Some code for the ioctl part is
also inspired from ubi's core.

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 index of all the
   MTD devices exposing UBI volumes will be shifted 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.

 * ubiblk devices are created on a 'on-demand' basis, which avoids wasting
   resources.

 * It is also possible to specify a "volume" parameter in order to create a
   ubiblk device at init time.  This makes possible to put a rootfs on a ubiblk
   device.  Format: "<ubi device number>:<volume name|volume ID>"

 * 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)

	changes since v7:
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * It is now possible to pass the volume id OR the volume name in the "volume"
   parameter.  The two functions responsible for that have been reorganized and
   renamed.
