|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/mount.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn vfs_register "struct vfsconf *vfc"

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Each file system type known to the kernel has a
|
|
.Vt vfsconf
|
|
structure that contains the
|
|
information required to create a new mount of that file systems type.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct vfsconf {
|
|
struct vfsops *vfc_vfsops; /* file system operations vector */
|
|
char vfc_name[MFSNAMELEN]; /* file system type name */
|
|
int vfc_typenum; /* historic file system type number */
|
|
int vfc_refcount; /* number mounted of this type */
|
|
int vfc_flags; /* permanent flags */
|
|
struct vfsconf *vfc_next; /* next in list */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a new file system is mounted,
|
|
.Xr vfs_mount 9
|
|
does a lookup of the
|
|
.Vt vfsconf
|
|
structure by its name, and if it is not already registered,
|
|
attempts to load a kernel module for it.
|
|
The file system operations for the new mount point are taken from
|
|
.Va vfc_vfsops ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Va mnt_vfc
|
|
in the
|
|
.Vt mount
|
|
structure is made to point directly at the
|
|
.Vt vfsconf
|
|
structure for the
|
|
file system type.
|
|
The file system type number is taken from
|
|
.Va vfc_typenum
|
|
which was assigned in
|
|
.Fn vfs_register ,
|
|
and the mount flags are taken from a mask of
|
|
.Va vfc_flags .
|
|
Each time a file system of a given type is mounted,
|
|
.Va vfc_refcount
|
|
is incremented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vfs_register
|
|
takes a new
|
|
.Vt vfsconf
|
|
structure and adds it to the list of existing file systems.
|
|
If the type has not already been registered, it is initialized by calling the
|
|
.Fn vfs_init
|
|
function in the file system operations vector.
|
|
.Fn vfs_register
|
|
also updates the oid's of any sysctl nodes for this file system type
|
|
to be the same as the newly assigned type number.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vfs_unregister
|
|
unlinks
|
|
.Fa vfc
|
|
from the list of registered file system types if there are currently no mounted instances.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fn vfs_uninit
|
|
function in the file systems initialization vector is defined, it is called.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vfs_modevent
|
|
is registered by
|
|
.Fn VFS_SET
|
|
to handle the loading and unloading of file system kernel modules.
|
|
In the case of
|
|
.Dv MOD_LOAD ,
|
|
.Fn vfs_register
|
|
is called.
|
|
In the case of
|
|
.Dv MOD_UNLOAD ,
|
|
.Fn vfs_unregister
|
|
is called.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn vfs_register
|
|
returns 0 if successful; otherwise,
|
|
.Er EEXIST
|
|
is returned indicating that the file system type has already been registered.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vfs_unregister
|
|
returns 0 if successful.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Vt vfsconf
|
|
entry can be found matching the name in
|
|
.Fa vfc ,
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
If the reference count of mounted instances of the file system type is not zero,
|
|
.Er EBUSY
|
|
is returned.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn vfs_uninit
|
|
is called, any errors it returns will be returned by
|
|
.Fn vfs_unregister .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn vfs_modevent
|
|
returns the result of the call to
|
|
.Fn vfs_register
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn vfs_unregister ,
|
|
whatever the case.
