#include <sys/vnode.h>

int
vrele(struct vnode *vp);

Decrement the v_usecount field of the vnode specified by vp.

Any code in the system which uses a vnode should call () when it is finished with the vnode. If the v_usecount field of the vnode reaches zero, the vnode will be placed on the free list.

vrele() returns 0 if it can guarantee that it did not sleep.
