vfs_mountedon(9)

NAME

vfs_mountedon - check if the vnode belongs to a mounted file
system

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>
int
vfs_mountedon(struct vnode *vp);

DESCRIPTION

vfs_mountedon() inspects the mount structure in vp to deter
mine if it
points to a valid mount point. If the mount is valid, the
vnode is considered to be busy.
A common use of vfs_mountedon() is to call it on device vn
odes to determine if they are already associated with a file system.
This is done to
prevent multiple mounts on the same device.

RETURN VALUES

EBUSY is returned if the vnode has a valid mount point; oth
erwise, 0 is
returned.

PSEUDOCODE

int
ffs_mountfs(devvp, mp, td, malloctype)
register struct vnode *devvp;
struct mount *mp;
struct thread *td;
struct malloc_type *malloctype;
{
...
error = vfs_mountedon(devvp);
if (error)
return (error);
...
}
