NAME¶
vgone — prepare a vnode for reuseSYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/param.h>#include <sys/vnode.h> void
vgone(struct vnode *vp);
DESCRIPTION¶
The vgone() function prepares the vnode to be destroyed. The preparation includes the cleaning of all file system specific data and the removal from its mount point vnode list. If the vnode has a v_usecount of zero, and itsVI_DOOMED
flag is not set, it is moved to the head of
the free list as in most cases the vnode is about to be reused, or its file
system is being unmounted.
The vgone() function takes an exclusively locked vnode, and
returns with the vnode exclusively locked.
