+ *
+ * Atomic logical eraseblock change
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ * Atomic logical eraseblock change operation is called using the %UBI_IOCEBCH

+ *
+ * To map a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBMAP

+ *
+ * Logical eraseblock unmap
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * To unmap a logical eraseblock to a physical eraseblock, the %UBI_IOCEBUNMAP
+ * ioctl command should be used. The ioctl unmaps the logical eraseblocks,
+ * schedules corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, and returns. Unlike
+ * the "LEB erase" command, it does not wait for the physical eraseblock being
+ * erased. Note, the side effect of this is that if an unclean reboot happens
+ * after the unmap ioctl returns, you may find the LEB mapped again to the same
+ * physical eraseblock after the UBI is run again.
+ *
+ * Check if logical eraseblock is mapped
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * To check if a logical eraseblock is mapped to a physical eraseblock, the

+ * not mapped, and %1 if it is mapped.

+ * To set an UBI volume property the %UBI_IOCSETPROP ioctl command should be
