43.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
44.Ft int

50.Ft int
51.Fn vn_lock "struct vnode *vp" "int flags" "struct proc *p"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53.Pp
54These calls are used to serialize access to the filesystem, such as
55to prevent two writes to the same file from happening at the
56same time.
57.Pp
58The arguments are:
59.Bl -tag -width flags
60.It Ar vp
61the vnode being locked or unlocked
62.It Ar flags
63One of the lock request types:
64.Bl -column LK_EXCLUPGRADE -offset indent
65.It Dv LK_SHARED Ta "Shared lock"
66.It Dv LK_EXCLUSIVE Ta "Exclusive lock"
67.It Dv LK_UPGRADE Ta "Shared-to-exclusive upgrade"
68.It Dv LK_EXCLUPGRADE Ta "First shared-to-exclusive upgrade"
69.It Dv LK_DOWNGRADE Ta "Exclusive-to-shared downgrade"
70.It Dv LK_RELEASE Ta "Release any type of lock"
71.It Dv LK_DRAIN Ta "Wait for all lock activity to end"
72.El
73.Pp
74The lock type may be
75.Em or Ns 'ed
76with these lock flags:
77.Bl -column LK_CANRECURSE -offset indent
78.It Dv LK_NOWAIT Ta "Do not sleep to wait for lock"
79.It Dv LK_SLEEPFAIL Ta "Sleep, then return failure"
80.It Dv LK_CANRECURSE Ta "Allow recursive exclusive lock"
81.It Dv LK_REENABLE Ta "Lock is to be reenabled after drain"
82.It Dv LK_NOPAUSE Ta "No spinloop"
83.El
84.Pp
85The lock type may be
86.Em or Ns 'ed
87with these control flags:
88.Bl -column LK_INTERLOCK -offset indent
89.It Dv LK_INTERLOCK Ta "Specify when the caller already has a simple lock \
90(VOP_LOCK will unlock the simple lock after getting the lock)"
91.It Dv LK_RETRY Ta "Retry until locked"
92.It Dv LK_NOOBJ Ta "Don't create object"
93.El
94.It Ar p
95process context to use for the locks
96.El
97.Pp
98Kernel code should use
99.Fn vn_lock
100to lock a vnode rather than calling
101.Fn VOP_LOCK
102directly.
103.Sh RETURN VALUES
104Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
