+ * @UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG: auto-resize this volume
+ *
+ * %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG flag can be set only for one volume in the volume
+ * table. UBI automatically re-sizes the volume which has this flag and makes
+ * the volume to be of largest possible size. This means that if after the
+ * initialization UBI finds out that there are available physical eraseblocks
+ * present on the device, it automatically appends all of them to the volume
+ * (the physical eraseblocks reserved for bad eraseblocks handling and other
+ * reserved physical eraseblocks are not taken). So, if there is a volume with
+ * the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG flag set, the amount of available logical
+ * eraseblocks will be zero after UBI is loaded, because all of them will be
+ * reserved for this volume. Note, the %UBI_VTBL_AUTORESIZE_FLG bit is cleared
+ * after the volume had been initialized.
+ *
+ * The auto-resize feature is useful for device production purposes. For
+ * example, different NAND flash chips may have different amount of initial bad
+ * eraseblocks, depending of particular chip instance. Manufacturers of NAND
+ * chips usually guarantee that the amount of initial bad eraseblocks does not
+ * exceed certain percent, e.g. 2%. When one creates an UBI image which will be
+ * flashed to the end devices in production, he does not know the exact amount
+ * of good physical eraseblocks the NAND chip on the device will have, but this
+ * number is required to calculate the volume sized and put them to the volume
+ * table of the UBI image. In this case, one of the volumes (e.g., the one
+ * which will store the root file system) is marked as "auto-resizable", and
+ * UBI will adjust its size on the first boot if needed.
+ *
+ * Note, first UBI reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks for bad
+ * eraseblock handling, and then re-sizes the volume, not vice-versa. This
+ * means that the pool of reserved physical eraseblocks will always be present.
