DROP_NLINK(9)			 The Linux VFS			 DROP_NLINK(9)

NAME
       drop_nlink - directly drop an inode's link count

SYNOPSIS
       void drop_nlink(struct inode * inode);

ARGUMENTS
       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.
