.Dt VRECYCLE 9
.Sh NAME
.Nm vrecycle
.Nd recycle a vnode if its usecount is zero
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
.Ft int
.Fo vrecycle
.Fa "struct vnode *vp"
.Fa "struct simplelock *inter_lkp"
.Fa "struct proc *p"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn vrecycle
function places a vnode
.Fa vp
on the free list using
.Xr vgonel 9
if its v_usecount field is zero. If the usecount is not zero it simply
returns. If its usecount is zero and an interlock
.Fa inter_lkp
was passed, this will be unlocked before calling
.Xr vgonel 9 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn vrecycle
will return 1 if the vnode was placed on the free list. It will return 0 if
the usecount was not zero, and any lock passed in
.Fa inter_lkp
will still be locked.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr vnode 9 ,
.Xr vgonel 9
