*
- * The @leb_ver and the @copy_flag fields are used to distinguish between older
- * and newer copies of logical eraseblocks, as well as to guarantee robustness
- * to unclean reboots. As UBI erases logical eraseblocks asynchronously, it has
- * to distinguish between older and newer copies of eraseblocks. This is done
- * using the @version field. On the other hand, when UBI moves an eraseblock,
- * its version is also increased and the @copy_flag is set to 1. Additionally,
- * when moving eraseblocks, UBI calculates data CRC and stores it in the
- * @data_crc field, even for dynamic volumes.
+ * 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.
*
- * Thus, if there are 2 eraseblocks of the same volume and logical number, UBI
- * uses the following algorithm to pick one of them. It first picks the one
- * with larger version (say, A). If @copy_flag is not set, then A is picked. If
- * @copy_flag is set, UBI checks the CRC of the eraseblock (@data_crc). This is
- * needed to ensure that copying was finished. If the CRC is all right, A is
- * picked. If not, the older eraseblock is picked.
+ * 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.
*
- * Note, the @leb_ver field may overflow. Thus, if you have 2 versions A and B,
- * then A > B if abs(A-B) < 0x7FFFFFFF, and A < B otherwise.
+ * 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 different
- * internal UBI purposes. In this implementation there are only two internal
- * volumes: the layout volume and the update volume. Internal volumes are the
- * main mechanism of UBI extensions. For example, in future one may introduce a

- * The @compat field is only used for internal volumes and contains the degree

- * journal internal volume in future, he would probably use %UBI_COMPAT_DELETE
- * compatibility. And in this case, older UBI binaries, which know nothing
- * about the journal volume, would just delete this and work perfectly fine.
