.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBgeneric_shutdown_super\fR
does all fs\-independent work on superblock shutdown\&. Typical \->\fBkill_sb\fR
should pick all fs\-specific objects that need destruction out of superblock, call
\fBgeneric_shutdown_super\fR
and release aforementioned objects\&. Note: dentries and inodes _are_ taken care of and do not need specific handling\&.
.PP
Upon calling this function, the filesystem may no longer alter or rearrange the set of dentries belonging to this super_block, nor may it change the attachments of dentries to inodes\&.
