only happen if VOP_INACTIVATE() drops the vnode lock, which is quite unreasonable behaviour for filesystem, and should not be mentioned in the description of VFS primitives. MFC after: 1 week

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Decrement the
|
|
.Va v_usecount
|
|
field of a vnode.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 2n
|
|
.It Fa vp
|
|
the vnode to decrement
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vrele
|
|
function takes an unlocked vnode and returns with the vnode unlocked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vput
|
|
function should be given a locked vnode as argument, the vnode is unlocked
|
|
after the function returned.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vput
|
|
is operationally equivalent to calling
|
|
.Xr VOP_UNLOCK 9
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Xr vrele 9 ,
|
|
with less overhead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn vunref
|
|
function takes a locked vnode as argument, and returns with the vnode locked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any code in the system which signified its use of a vnode by usecount
|
|
should call one of the listed function to decrement use counter.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Va v_usecount
|
|
field of the non-doomed vnode reaches zero, then it will be inactivated
|
|
and placed on the free list.
|
|
Since the functions might need to call VOPs for the vnode, the
|
|
.Va Giant
|
|
mutex should be conditionally locked around the call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The hold count for the vnode is always greater or equal to the usecount.
|
|
Non-forced unmount fails when mount point owns a vnode that has non-zero
|
|
usecount, see
|
|
.Xr vflush 9 .
