Our first serie of patches for UBI have been merged in Linux and will be present in the 2.6.29 version.
- UBI: allow direct user-space I/O
- UBI: add ioctl for is_mapped operation
- UBI: add ioctl for unmap operation
- UBI: add ioctl for map operation
Theses patches will allow us to make a fuse-based filesystem. Using fuse we will be able to debug the filesystem with valgrind or gdb, it will be a lot easier than directly hacking into the kernel. Moreover, a fuse filesystem is usable on MacOSX, GNU/Linux and *BSD.
Special thanks to Artem Bityutskiy (from Nokia) for his suggestions.
