NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     vrecycle - recycle a vnode if its reference count is zero

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/vnode.h>

     int
     vrecycle(struct vnode  *vp,  struct  simplelock  *inter_lkp,
struct proc *p);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The vrecycle() function places the vnode vp on the free list
using
     vgonel(9) if its v_usecount field is zero.  If v_usecount is
non-zero, it
     simply  returns.   If  v_usecount  is  zero and an interlock
inter_lkp was
     passed, this  interlock  will  be  unlocked  before  calling
vgonel(9).

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     vrecycle() will return 1 if the vnode was placed on the free
list.  It
     will return 0 if the reference count was non-zero,  and  any
lock passed in
     inter_lkp will still be locked.
