.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
subsystem is a set of operations to assist file system suspension.
These operations must not be used outside of file systems.
.Pp
File systems supporting this subsystem must set the flag
.Dv IMNT_HAS_TRANS
in
.Dv "mnt_iflag" .
.Pp
File systems are always in one of these states:
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width FSTRANS_SUSPENDING -compact
.It Dv FSTRANS_NORMAL
normal operations.
.It Dv FSTRANS_SUSPENDING
preparing a suspension.
.It Dv FSTRANS_SUSPENDED
suspended.
.El
This state is represented by
.Vt "enum fstrans_state" .
.Bl -tag -width compact
.It Fn fstrans_getstate "mp"
returns the current state of the file system
.Fa mp .
.Pp
.It Fn fstrans_setstate "mp" "new_state"
changes the state of the file system
.Fa mp
to
.Fa new_state .
.El
.Pp
All file system operations use a
.Em "fstrans lock" .
This lock is recursive.
A thread already owning a lock will always get another lock.
The lock has two variants:
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width FSTRANS_SHARED -compact
.It Dv FSTRANS_SHARED
this lock will be granted if the file system is in state
.Dv FSTRANS_NORMAL .
.It Dv FSTRANS_LAZY
this lock will be granted if the file system is in state
.Dv FSTRANS_NORMAL
or
.Dv FSTRANS_SUSPENDING .
It needs special care because operations using this variant will not block
while the file system prepares suspension.
.El
The lock variant is represented by
.Vt "enum fstrans_lock_type" .
.Bl -tag -width compact
.It Fn fstrans_start "mp" "lock_type"
sets a lock of type
.Fa lock_type
on the file system
.Fa mp .
.It Fn fstrans_start_nowait "mp" "lock_type"
will not wait for a state change of the file system when attempting to
aquire the lock.
The thread may still sleep while attempting to aquire the lock.
.It Fn fstrans_done "mp"
releases a lock on the file system
.Fa mp .
.It Fn fstrans_is_owner "mp"
returns
.Dv true
if this thread is currently suspending the file system
.Fa mp .
.It Fn fscow_establish "mp" "func" "cookie"
Establish a copy-on-write callback for the file system
.Fa mp .
.Fa func
will be called for every buffer written through this file system.
.It Fn fscow_disestablish "mp" "func" "cookie"
Disestablish a copy-on-write callback registered with
.Fn fscow_establish .
.It Fn fscow_run "bp" "data_valid"
Run all copy-on-write callbacks established for the file system this buffer
belongs to.
If
.Fa data_valid
is
.Dv true
the buffer data has not yet been modified.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions
.Fn fstrans_setstate
and
.Fn fstrans_start_nowait
return zero on success and an error value on failure.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a file system suspend operation.
.Bd -literal
int
xxx_suspendctl(struct mount *mp, int cmd)
{
	int error;

	switch (cmd) {
	case SUSPEND_SUSPEND:
		error = fstrans_setstate(mp, FSTRANS_SUSPENDING);
		if (error != 0)
			return error;

		/* Sync file system state to disk. */

		return fstrans_setstate(mp, FSTRANS_SUSPENDED);

	case SUSPEND_RESUME:
		return fstrans_setstate(mp, FSTRANS_NORMAL);

	default:
		return EINVAL;
	}
}
.Ed
.Pp
This is an example of a file system operation.
.Bd -literal
int
xxx_create(void *v)
{
	struct vop_create_args *ap = v;
	struct mount *mp = ap-\*[Gt]a_dvp-\*[Gt]v_mount;
	int error;

	if ((error = fstrans_start(mp, FSTRANS_SHARED)) != 0)
		return error;

	/* Actually create the node. */

	fstrans_done(mp);

	return 0;
