GENERIC_SHUTDOWN_SUP(9)                   The Linux VFS                   GENERIC_SHUTDOWN_SUP(9)



NAME
       generic_shutdown_super - common helper for ->kill_sb

SYNOPSIS
       void generic_shutdown_super(struct super_block * sb);

ARGUMENTS
       sb
           superblock to kill

DESCRIPTION
       generic_shutdown_super does all fs-independent work on superblock shutdown. Typical
       ->kill_sb should pick all fs-specific objects that need destruction out of superblock,
       call generic_shutdown_super and release aforementioned objects. Note: dentries and inodes
       _are_ taken care of and do not need specific handling.

       Upon calling this function, the filesystem may no longer alter or rearrange the set of
       dentries belonging to this super_block, nor may it change the attachments of dentries to
       inodes.
