NAME
vrele —
Release a previously obtained primary
reference for a vnode
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
void
vrele(struct
vnode *vp);
DESCRIPTION
The caller is holding a primary reference to the vnode and wishes to release it.- vp
- The vnode being released.
Any code in the system which obtains a primary
reference to a vnode via
vref(9) typically releases that reference with
vrele() when
it is finished with the vnode. Upon release of the last primary reference,
the vnode will be deactivated and either moved to the free list for later
reuse or marked as being cache. The vnode can be reactivated at any time
prior to the system reusing it.
