.Sh DESCRIPTION
The high-level functions described in this page are the interface to
the kernel file system interface (VFS).
.Sh FUNCTIONS
.Bl -tag -width compact
.It Fn vfs_getnewfsid "mp"
Get a new unique file system id type for the file system specified by
the mount structure
.Fa mp .
The file system id type is stored in
.Em mp-\*[Gt]mnt_stat.f_fsidx .
.It Fn vfs_getvfs "fsid"
Lookup a mount point with the file system identifier
.Fa fsid .
.It Fn vfs_export_lookup "mp" "nep" "argp"
Check client permission on the exportable file system specified by the
mount structure
.Fa mp .
The argument
.Fa nam
is the address of the networked client.
This function is used by file system type specific functions to verify
that the client can access the file system.
.It Fn vfs_setpublicfs "mp" "nep" "argp"
Set the publicly exported file system specified by the mount structure
.Fa mp .
.It Fn vfs_mountedon "vp"
Check to see if a file system is mounted on a block device specified
by the vnode
.Fa vp .
.It Fn vfs_mountroot "void"
Mount the root file system.
.It Fn vfs_unmountall "l"
Unmount all file systems.
.It Fn vfs_busy "mp" "flags" "interlkp"
Mark the mount point specified by
.Fa mp
as busy.
This function is used to synchronize access and to delay unmounting.
The interlock specified by argument
.Fa interlkp
is not released on failure.
.It Fn vfs_unbusy "mp"
Free the busy file system specified by the mount structure
.Fa mp .
.It Fn vfs_rootmountalloc "fstypename" "devname" "mpp"
Lookup a file system type specified by the name
.Fa fstypename
and if found allocate and initialise a mount structure for it.
The allocated mount structure is returned in the address specified by
.Fa mpp .
The device the root file system was mounted from is specified by the
argument
.Fa devname
and is recorded in the new mount structure.
.It Fn vfs_shutdown
Sync and unmount all file systems before shutting down.
Invoked by
.Xr cpu_reboot 9 .
.It Fn vfs_attach "vfs"
Establish file system
.Fa vfs
and initialise it.
.It Fn vfs_detach "vfs"
Remove file system
.Fa vfs
from the kernel.
.It Fn vfs_reinit "void"
Reinitialises all file systems within the kernel through file
system-specific vfs operation (see
.Xr vfsops 9 ) .
.It Fn vfs_getopsbyname "name"
Given a file system name specified by
.Fa name ,
look up the vfs operations for that file system (see
.Xr vfsops 9 ) ,
or return
.Dv NULL
if file system isn't present in the kernel.
.It Fn vfs_write_suspend "mp" "slpflag" "slptimeo"
Request a mounted file system to suspend write operations.
All new write operations to the file system are stopped.
After all write operations in progress have completed, the
file system is synced to disk and the function returns.
If the file system is currently suspended the
.Xr sleep 9
flag and timeout are specified by the arguments
.Fa slpflag
and
.Fa slptimeo
respectively.
If
.Fa slptimeo
is less than zero
.Er EWOULDBLOCK
is returned.
If the operation is successful, zero is returned, otherwise an
appropriate error code is returned.
.It Fn vfs_write_resume "mp"
Request a mounted file system to resume write operations.
.El
.Sh CODE REFERENCES
This section describes places within the
.Nx
source tree where actual code implementing or using the vfs
operations can be found.
All pathnames are relative to
.Pa /usr/src .
.Pp
The vfs interface functions are implemented within the files
.Pa sys/kern/vfs_subr.c
and
.Pa sys/kern/vfs_init.c .
