GENERIC_SHUTDOWN_SUP(9) The Linux VFS GENERIC_SHUTDOWN_SUP(9)
NAME
generic_shutdown_super - common helper for ->kill_sb
SYNOPSIS
void generic_shutdown_super(struct super_block * sb);
ARGUMENTS
sb
superblock to kill
DESCRIPTION
generic_shutdown_super does all fs-independent work on superblock shutdown. Typical ->kill_sb should pick all fs-specific objects that need
destruction out of superblock, call generic_shutdown_super and release aforementioned objects. Note: dentries and inodes _are_ taken care
of and do not need specific handling.
Upon calling this function, the filesystem may no longer alter or rearrange the set of dentries belonging to this super_block, nor may it
change the attachments of dentries to inodes.
