[PATCH 3/3] docs/vfs: Remove mentions to the old mount API helpers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that mount_bdev(), mount_nodev() and mount_single() have all been
removed, remove mentions to them in vfs.rst.

While we're at it, redirect people looking for mount API docs to
mount_api.rst (which documents the newer API).

-Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
-and provides a fill_super() callback instead.  The generic variants are:
-
-``mount_bdev``
-	mount a filesystem residing on a block device
-
-``mount_nodev``
-	mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
-
-``mount_single``
-	mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts
-
-A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
-
-``struct super_block *sb``
-	the superblock structure.  The callback must initialize this
-	properly.
-
-``void *data``
-	arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
-	"Mount Options" section)
-
-``int silent``
-	whether or not to be silent on error
