New Revision: 215798
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/215798

Log:
  Remove the note about possible unlocking during vunref(9). It might
  only happen if VOP_INACTIVATE() drops the vnode lock, which is quite
  unreasonable behaviour for filesystem, and should not be mentioned
  in the description of VFS primitives.

 The

 Any code in the system which signified its use of a vnode by usecount
 should call one of the listed function to decrement use counter.
