Name
drop_nlink —
directly drop an inode's link count
Synopsis
void drop_nlink ( | struct inode * | inode); |
Description
This is a low-level filesystem helper to replace any
direct filesystem manipulation of i_nlink. In cases
where we are attempting to track writes to the
filesystem, a decrement to zero means an imminent
write when the file is truncated and actually unlinked
on the filesystem.
