NAME

       VOP_INACTIVE, VOP_RECLAIM — reclaim file system resources for a vnode

SYNOPSIS

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

       int
       VOP_INACTIVE(struct vnode *vp, struct thread *td);

       int
       VOP_RECLAIM(struct vnode *vp, struct thread *td);

DESCRIPTION

       The arguments are:

       vp  The vnode being reclaimed.

       VOP_INACTIVE() is called when the kernel is no longer using the vnode.  This may be because the reference
       count  reaches  zero  or  it may be that the file system is being forcibly unmounted while there are open
       files.  It can be used to reclaim space for ‘open but deleted’ files.

       VOP_RECLAIM() is called when a vnode is being reused for  a  different  file  system.   Any  file  system
       specific resources associated with the vnode should be freed.

LOCKS

       For  both  VOP_INACTIVE() and VOP_RECLAIM(), the vp will be exclusively locked on entry, and must be left
       exclusively locked on return.
