.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm VOP_LOOKUP
|
|
.Nd lookup a component of a pathname
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/vnode.h
|
|
.In sys/namei.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VOP_LOOKUP "struct vnode *dvp" "struct vnode **vpp" "struct componentname *cnp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This entry point looks up a single pathname component in a given directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Its arguments are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width vpp
|
|
.It Fa dvp
|
|
The locked vnode of the directory to search.
|
|
.It Fa vpp
|
|
The address of a variable where the resulting locked vnode should be stored.
|
|
.It Fa cnp
|
|
The pathname component to be searched for.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa Cnp
|
|
is a pointer to a componentname structure defined as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct componentname {
|
|
/*
|
|
* Arguments to lookup.
|
|
*/
|
|
u_long cn_nameiop; /* namei operation */
|
|
u_long cn_flags; /* flags to namei */
|
|
struct thread *cn_thread; /* thread requesting lookup */
|
|
struct ucred *cn_cred; /* credentials */
|
|
/*
|
|
* Shared between lookup and commit routines.
|
|
*/
|
|
char *cn_pnbuf; /* pathname buffer */
|
|
char *cn_nameptr; /* pointer to looked up name */
|
|
long cn_namelen; /* length of looked up component */
|
|
u_long cn_hash; /* hash value of looked up name */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Convert a component of a pathname into a pointer to a locked vnode.
|
|
This is a very central and rather complicated routine.
|
|
If the file system is not maintained in a strict tree hierarchy,
|
|
this can result in a deadlock situation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa cnp->cn_nameiop
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv LOOKUP ,
|
|
.Dv CREATE ,
|
|
.Dv RENAME ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv DELETE
|
|
depending on the intended use of the object.
|
|
When
|
|
.Dv CREATE ,
|
|
.Dv RENAME ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv DELETE
|
|
is specified, information usable in
|
|
creating, renaming, or deleting a directory entry may be calculated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Overall outline of VOP_LOOKUP:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
Check accessibility of directory.
|
|
Look for name in cache, if found, then return name.
|
|
Search for name in directory, goto to found or notfound as appropriate.
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
notfound:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
If creating or renaming and at end of pathname,
|
|
return
|
|
.Er EJUSTRETURN ,
|
|
leaving info on available slots else return
|
|
.Er ENOENT .
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
found:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
If at end of path and deleting, return information to allow delete.
|
|
If at end of path and renaming, lock target
|
|
inode and return info to allow rename.
|
|
If not at end, add name to cache; if at end and neither creating
|
|
nor deleting, add name to cache.
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh LOCKS
|
|
The directory
|
|
.Fa dvp
|
|
should be locked on entry and exit, regardless of error condition.
|
|
If an entry is found in the directory, it will be returned locked.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Zero is returned with
|
|
.Fa *vpp
|
|
set to the locked vnode of the file if the component is found.
|
|
If the component being searched for is ".", then the vnode just has
|
|
an extra reference added to it with
|
|
.Xr vref 9 .
|
|
The caller must take care to release the locks appropriately in this
|
|
case.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the component is not found and the operation is
|
|
.Dv CREATE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RENAME ,
|
|
the flag
|
|
.Dv ISLASTCN
|
|
is specified and the operation would succeed, the special return value
|
|
.Er EJUSTRETURN
|
|
is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
|
|
The vnode
|
|
.Fa dvp
|
|
does not represent a directory.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
The component
|
|
.Fa dvp
|
|
was not found in this directory.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Access for the specified operation is denied.
|
|
.It Bq Er EJUSTRETURN
|
|
A
|
|
.Dv CREATE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RENAME
|
|
operation would be successful.
