NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       void generic_shutdown_super(struct super_block * sb);

ARGUMENTS

12       sb
13           superblock to kill
14

DESCRIPTION

16       generic_shutdown_super does all fs-independent work on superblock
17       shutdown. Typical ->kill_sb should pick all fs-specific objects that
18       need destruction out of superblock, call generic_shutdown_super and
19       release aforementioned objects. Note: dentries and inodes _are_ taken
20       care of and do not need specific handling.
21
22       Upon calling this function, the filesystem may no longer alter or
23       rearrange the set of dentries belonging to this super_block, nor may it
24       change the attachments of dentries to inodes.
