34.Sh NAME
35.Nm VOP_LOCK ,
36.Nm VOP_UNLOCK ,
37.Nm VOP_ISLOCKED ,
38.Nm vn_lock
39.Nd serialize access to a vnode
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.In sys/param.h
42.In sys/lock.h
43.In sys/vnode.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn VOP_LOCK "struct vnode *vp" "int flags"
46.Ft int
47.Fn VOP_UNLOCK "struct vnode *vp" "int flags"
48.Ft int
49.Fn VOP_ISLOCKED "struct vnode *vp"
50.Ft int
51.Fn vn_lock "struct vnode *vp" "int flags"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53These calls are used to serialize access to the file system, such as
54to prevent two writes to the same file from happening at the
55same time.
56.Pp
57The arguments are:
58.Bl -tag -width flags
59.It Fa vp
60The vnode being locked or unlocked.
61.It Fa flags
62One of the lock request types:
63.Pp
64.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_CANRECURSE" -offset indent -compact
65.It Dv LK_SHARED
66Shared lock.
67.It Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE
68Exclusive lock.
69.It Dv LK_UPGRADE
70Shared-to-exclusive upgrade.
71.It Dv LK_DOWNGRADE
72Exclusive-to-shared downgrade.
73.It Dv LK_RELEASE
74Release any type of lock.
75.It Dv LK_DRAIN
76Wait for all lock activity to end.
77.El
78.Pp
79The lock type may be
80.Em or Ns 'ed
81with these lock flags:
82.Pp
83.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_CANRECURSE" -offset indent -compact
84.It Dv LK_NOWAIT
85Do not sleep to wait for lock.
86.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL
87Sleep, then return failure.
88.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE
89Allow recursive exclusive lock.
90.El
91.Pp
92The lock type may be
93.Em or Ns 'ed
94with these control flags:
95.Pp
96.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LK_CANRECURSE" -offset indent -compact
97.It Dv LK_INTERLOCK
98Specify when the caller already has a simple lock
99.Fn ( VOP_LOCK
100will unlock the simple lock after getting the lock).
101.It Dv LK_RETRY
102Retry until locked.
103.El
104.Pp
105Kernel code should use
106.Fn vn_lock
107to lock a vnode rather than calling
108.Fn VOP_LOCK
109directly.
110.Fn vn_lock
111also does not want a thread specified as argument but it
112assumes curthread to be used.
113.Sh RETURN VALUES
114Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
115.Sh PSEUDOCODE
116.Bd -literal
