52.Fn VOP_INACTIVE
53is usually called when the kernel is no longer using the vnode.
54However, there is no guarantee that it will be called at all, for example if
55the last reference was dropped while the vnode lock could not be upgraded
56to exclusive without sleeping.
57This may be
58because the reference count reaches zero or it may be that the
59file system is being forcibly unmounted while there are open files.
60It can be used to reclaim space on the last close of an
61.Sq open but deleted
62file.
63.Pp
64.Fn VOP_RECLAIM
65is called when a vnode is being reused for a different file system.
66Any file system specific resources associated with the vnode should be
67freed.
