.Sh NAME

|
.Nm VFS_LOCK_GIANT ,
|
|
.Nm VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT
|
|
.Nd "conditionally lock and unlock Giant around entry into VFS"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/mount.h
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/mount.h
|
|
.In sys/vnode.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VFS_LOCK_GIANT "struct mount *mp"
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT "int vfslocked"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn VFS_LOCK_GIANT
|
|
will conditionally acquire the
|
|
.Va Giant
|
|
lock if the file system referenced by
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
is marked as MPSAFE or not, returning a flag indicating whether
|
|
.Va Giant
|
|
was
|
|
set, which may later be passed to
|
|
.Fn VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT .
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
will typically be derived from the mount pointer in a
|
|
.Vt vnode
|
|
on which a VFS operation will be performed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT
|
|
conditionally releases the
|
|
.Va Giant
|
|
lock if the passed
|
|
.Fa vfslocked
|
|
argument is non-zero.
|
|
It is expected that the argument will be derived from the return values of
|
|
.Fn VFS_LOCK_GIANT
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr NDHASGIANT 9 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn VFS_LOCK_GIANT
|
|
returns a boolean indicating whether or not
|
|
.Va Giant
|
|
was acquired.

.Sh BUGS

|
Non-MPSAFE file systems exist, requiring callers conditional locking and
|
|
unlocking of
|
|
.Va Giant .
