+.Fn VOP_INACTIVE
+is usually called when the kernel is no longer using the vnode.
+However, there is no guarantee that it will be called at all, for example if
+the last reference was dropped while the vnode lock could not be upgraded
+to exclusive without sleeping.
+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 on the last close of an
+.Sq open but deleted
+file.
+.Pp
+.Fn 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.
+.Sh LOCKS
+For both
+.Fn VOP_INACTIVE
+and
+.Fn VOP_RECLAIM ,
+the
+.Fa vp
+will be exclusively locked on entry, and must be left exclusively
+locked on return.
