vfs_busy(9) marks a mount point as busy

SYNOPSIS

In sys/param.h In sys/mount.h Ft int Fn vfs_busy struct mount *mp int flags

DESCRIPTION

The Fn vfs_busy function marks a mount point as busy by incrementing the reference count of a mount point. It also delays unmounting by sleeping on Fa mp if the MNTK_UNMOUNT flag is set in Fa mp->mnt_kern_flag and the MBF_NOWAIT flag is not set.

Its arguments are:

Fa mp
The mount point to busy.
Fa flags
Flags controlling how Fn vfs_busy should act.

MBF_NOWAIT
do not sleep if MNTK_UNMOUNT is set.
MBF_MNTLSTLOCK
drop the mountlist_mtx in the critical path.

RETURN VALUES

A 0 value is returned on success. If the mount point is being unmounted and MBF_NOWAIT flag is specified Er ENOENT will be returned.

ERRORS

Bq Er ENOENT
The mount point is being unmounted ( MNTK_UNMOUNT is set).
