VOP_CREATEVOBJECT(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual				      VOP_CREATEVOBJECT(9)

NAME

     VOP_CREATEVOBJECT, VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT, VOP_GETVOBJECT -- VM object interaction

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>

     int
     VOP_CREATEVOBJECT(struct vnode *vp, struct ucred *cred, struct thread *td);

     int
     VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT(struct vnode *vp);

     int
     VOP_GETVOBJECT(struct vnode *vp, struct vm_object **objpp);

DESCRIPTION

     These calls are used to control the association of a VM object with a particular vnode.

     The arguments specific to these functions are:

     vp     The vnode of the file.

     objpp  The VM object being returned, or NULL if the caller wants to test for the existence of the VM object).

     VFS(9) invokes VOP_CREATEVOBJECT() when it needs to create a VM object for the given 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.

     VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT() is called when a vnode(9) is recycled.

     VOP_GETVOBJECT() should be used by all kernel code to get a VM object.  The returned VM object may belong to a different file system in the
     case of stacked mounts.

     VFS(9) has three functions which perform standard operations by creating and destroying VM objects.  These functions are:
     vop_stdcreatevobject(), vop_stddestroyvobject() and vop_stdgetvobject().

     Note: a vnode(9) should be locked on entry and must be left locked on exit.

RETURN VALUES

     The VOP_CREATEVOBJECT(), VOP_DESTROYVOBJECT() and VOP_GETVOBJECT() functions return zero on success, or a non-zero value on failure.  Zero is
     returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.

EXAMPLES

     By default, file systems leave VM object handling to the vop_std*() functions.
