Probe UBI volume under /dev (or /devfs, /devices).
ubi_ctrl skip is hardcoded, maybe we should find a
cleaner way to do that. Also change probe.c to handle
char devices.

 that's not elegant. Does it mean that UBI volumes are not in
 /proc/partitions?
 
 Ted, any comment?

 I hope one day we will convert whole libblkid to use openat(),
 statat(), ... functions to avoid malloc() and sprintf() for paths :-)

Yeah, the thing is that neither UBI volumes nor MTD devices are in
/proc/partitions, just because they are not block devices and they
are not members of the blkock device infrastructure. They form a
completely separate subsystem.

Here are some more data:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/general.html#L_mtd_what
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_raw_vs_ftl

There are already 3 FSes which work with MTD: JFFS2, UBIFS and
(out-of-tree)YAFFS2.

Sorry, I've been travelling and it's the merge window and I have
slides for a Usenix tutorial due soon, so my userspace-related pages
have been swapped out.  And next week is LinuxCon/Plumber's...  

I'll try to look at this either next week if I can find some airplane
hacking time or when I get back from Plumber's Conference.

Wouldn't be better to 

  #define is_ubi_device(s)    (S_ISCHR(s->st_mode) && (s->st_rdev & 0xFF))

(or major() instead magic 0xFF constant?) and use it everywhere in
code? I guess UBI is always a char device.

this is the same situation, this code will for all char devices, but we
want to support UBI only.

Maybe something like that:
#define is_ubi_device(s)    (S_ISCHR(s->st_mode) && !minor(s->st_rdev))

I don't know if there is a "good" way to detect an ubi device using
only struct stat.

Artem, any idea ?

Well, if you want to be really nice, you may implement this as a
function which scans sysfs or looks at /proc/devices and makes sure the
device really belongs to UBI. See below.

UBI char devices' major:minor numbers are allocated dynamically, so they
cannot be used.

To check whether this char. device node is an UBI volume and not
something else, you should scan all /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/Y/dev files, and
see if there is a device with the same major:minor.

The other possibility would be to look at /proc/devices, and make sure
there is an ubiX device with the same major number as your /dev/ubiX_Y
device.

 Yes, we have such function (blkid_driver_has_major()), but I think
 it's overkill in this context. It seems that check for the "ubi" 
 device name in ubi_probe_all() is enough.

 Thanks.
