DESCRIPTION
Thegetnewvnode()
function initializes a new vnode, assigning it the vnode operations passed in
vops. The vnode is either freshly allocated, or taken
from the head of the free list depending on the number of vnodes already in
the system.
The arguments to
getnewvnode()
are:
- tag
- The file system type string. This field should only be referenced for debugging or for userland utilities.
- mp
- The mount point to add the new vnode to.
- vops
- The vnode operations to assign to the new vnode.
- vpp
- Points to the new vnode upon successful completion.
RETURN VALUES
getnewvnode() returns 0 on success. There
are currently no failure conditions - that do not result in a panic.
