* @data_crc: CRC checksum of the data stored in this logical eraseblock
* @padding1: reserved for future, zeroes
* @sqnum: sequence number
* @padding2: reserved for future, zeroes
* @hdr_crc: volume identifier header CRC checksum
*
* The @sqnum is the value of the global sequence counter at the time when this
* VID header was created. The global sequence counter is incremented each time
* UBI writes a new VID header to the flash, i.e. when it maps a logical
* eraseblock to a new physical eraseblock. The global sequence counter is an
* unsigned 64-bit integer and we assume it never overflows. The @sqnum
* (sequence number) is used to distinguish between older and newer versions of
* logical eraseblocks.
*
* There are 2 situations when there may be more then one physical eraseblock
* corresponding to the same logical eraseblock, i.e., having the same @vol_id
* and @lnum values in the volume identifier header. Suppose we have a logical
* eraseblock L and it is mapped to the physical eraseblock P.
*
* 1. Because UBI may erase physical eraseblocks asynchronously, the following
* situation is possible: L is asynchronously erased, so P is scheduled for
* erasure, then L is written to,i.e. mapped to another physical eraseblock P1,
* so P1 is written to, then an unclean reboot happens. Result - there are 2
* physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to the same logical eraseblock
* L. But P1 has greater sequence number, so UBI picks P1 when it attaches the
* flash.
*
* 2. From time to time UBI moves logical eraseblocks to other physical
* eraseblocks for wear-leveling reasons. If, for example, UBI moves L from P
* to P1, and an unclean reboot happens before P is physically erased, there
* are two physical eraseblocks P and P1 corresponding to L and UBI has to
* select one of them when the flash is attached. The @sqnum field says which
* PEB is the original (obviously P will have lower @sqnum) and the copy. But
* it is not enough to select the physical eraseblock with the higher sequence
* number, because the unclean reboot could have happen in the middle of the
* copying process, so the data in P is corrupted. It is also not enough to
* just select the physical eraseblock with lower sequence number, because the
* data there may be old (consider a case if more data was added to P1 after
* the copying). Moreover, the unclean reboot may happen when the erasure of P
* was just started, so it result in unstable P, which is "mostly" OK, but
* still has unstable bits.
*
* UBI uses the @copy_flag field to indicate that this logical eraseblock is a
* copy. UBI also calculates data CRC when the data is moved and stores it at
* the @data_crc field of the copy (P1). So when UBI needs to pick one physical
* eraseblock of two (P or P1), the @copy_flag of the newer one (P1) is
* examined. If it is cleared, the situation* is simple and the newer one is
* picked. If it is set, the data CRC of the copy (P1) is examined. If the CRC
* checksum is correct, this physical eraseblock is selected (P1). Otherwise
* the older one (P) is selected.
*
* Note, there is an obsolete @leb_ver field which was used instead of @sqnum
* in the past. But it is not used anymore and we keep it in order to be able
* to deal with old UBI images. It will be removed at some point.
*
* There are 2 sorts of volumes in UBI: user volumes and internal volumes.
* Internal volumes are not seen from outside and are used for various internal
* UBI purposes. In this implementation there is only one internal volume - the
* layout volume. Internal volumes are the main mechanism of UBI extensions.
* For example, in future one may introduce a journal internal volume. Internal
* volumes have their own reserved range of IDs.
*
* The @compat field is only used for internal volumes and contains the "degree
* of their compatibility". It is always zero for user volumes. This field
* provides a mechanism to introduce UBI extensions and to be still compatible
* with older UBI binaries. For example, if someone introduced a journal in
* future, he would probably use %UBI_COMPAT_DELETE compatibility for the
* journal volume. And in this case, older UBI binaries, which know nothing
* about the journal volume, would just delete this volume and work perfectly
* fine. This is similar to what Ext2fs does when it is fed by an Ext3fs image
* - it just ignores the Ext3fs journal.
*
* The @data_crc field contains the CRC checksum of the contents of the logical
* eraseblock if this is a static volume. In case of dynamic volumes, it does
* not contain the CRC checksum as a rule. The only exception is when the
* data of the physical eraseblock was moved by the wear-leveling unit, then
* the wear-leveling unit calculates the data CRC and stores it in the
* @data_crc field. And of course, the @copy_flag is %in this case.
*
* The @data_size field is used only for static volumes because UBI has to know
* how many bytes of data are stored in this eraseblock. For dynamic volumes,
* this field usually contains zero. The only exception is when the data of the
* physical eraseblock was moved to another physical eraseblock for
* wear-leveling reasons. In this case, UBI calculates CRC checksum of the
* contents and uses both @data_crc and @data_size fields. In this case, the
* @data_size field contains data size.
*
* The @used_ebs field is used only for static volumes and indicates how many
* eraseblocks the data of the volume takes. For dynamic volumes this field is
* not used and always contains zero.
*
* The @data_pad is calculated when volumes are created using the alignment
* parameter. So, effectively, the @data_pad field reduces the size of logical
* eraseblocks of this volume. This is very handy when one uses block-oriented
* software (say, cramfs) on top of the UBI volume.
