.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/vnode.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_CREATEVOBJECT "struct vnode *vp" "struct ucred *cred" "struct thread *td"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT "struct vnode *vp"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_GETVOBJECT "struct vnode *vp" "struct vm_object **objpp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These calls are used to control the association of a VM object
|
|
with a particular vnode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The arguments specific to these functions are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width objpp
|
|
.It Fa vp
|
|
The vnode of the file.
|
|
.It Fa objpp
|
|
The VM object being returned, or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the caller wants to test for the existence
|
|
of the VM object).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr VFS 9
|
|
invokes
|
|
.Fn VOP_CREATEVOBJECT
|
|
when it needs to create a VM object for the given
|
|
.Xr vnode 9 .
|
|
File system code may pass this call down to the underlying file system.
|
|
This VOP can be called multiple times,
|
|
and file system code should ignore any additional calls,
|
|
exiting with a zero return code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT
|
|
is called when a
|
|
.Xr vnode 9
|
|
is recycled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn VOP_GETVOBJECT
|
|
should be used by all kernel code to get a VM object.
|
|
.\" XXX What is the next sentence trying to tell people?
|
|
The returned VM object may belong to a different file system in the case
|
|
of stacked mounts.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Xr VFS 9
|
|
has three functions which perform standard operations by creating
|
|
and destroying VM objects.
|
|
These functions are:
|
|
.Fn vop_stdcreatevobject ,
|
|
.Fn vop_stddestroyvobject
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn vop_stdgetvobject .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Note :
|
|
a
|
|
.Xr vnode 9
|
|
should be locked on entry and must be left locked on exit.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn VOP_CREATEVOBJECT ,
|
|
.Fn VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn VOP_GETVOBJECT
|
|
functions return zero on success, or a non-zero value on failure.
|
|
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.\" XXX Why is this code here when it does not use the functions
|
|
.\" described in this manual page?
|
|
By default, file systems leave VM object handling to the
|
|
.Fn vop_std*
|
|
functions.
