Collaboration diagram for Superblock:

Detailed Description

Mountable filesystem.

A superblock represents a mounted filesystem, it can be thought of as "filesystem + device". The filesystem is just the format of the data, e.g. fat32, ramfs, sysfs, etc. and the device provides the data. The superblock is the combination of both, e.g. a fat32 filesystem on /dev/sda1.

In the case of certain special filesystems like ramfs or sysfs there is no underlying device, in this case the device name is simply set to VFS_DEVICE_NAME_NONE.

Typedef Documentation

Superblock ID type.

Function Documentation

superblock_new()

superblock_t * superblock_new	(	filesystem_t *	fs,
		const char *	deviceName,
		const superblock_ops_t *	ops,
		const dentry_ops_t *	dentryOps
	)

Create a new superblock.

This does not add the superblock to the superblock cache, the vfs_mount() function will do that using vfs_add_superblock().

There is no superblock_free() instead use UNREF().

Note that the superblock's root dentry must be created and assigned after calling this function.

Parameters

fs	The filesystem type of the superblock.
deviceName	The device name, or VFS_DEVICE_NAME_NONE for no device.
ops	The superblock operations, can be NULL.
dentryOps	The dentry operations for dentries in this superblock, can be NULL.

Returns

On success, the new superblock. On failure, returns NULL and errno is set.

superblock_inc_mount_count()

void superblock_inc_mount_count

(

superblock_t *

superblock

)

Increment the mount count of a superblock.

Parameters

superblock

Pointer to the superblock.
