 * @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.

 * 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.
