vgone/vclean replacement?

Subject: vgone/vclean replacement?

So I have a need to just force kill a bunch of my vnodes within my file system. In the past I just called vgone() on the vnode, which would force close if open, clean up and recycle the vnode. However in Tiger, vgone() and vclean() are now a hidden functions.

So whats the best way now, to force kill a vnode? I've gone though the xnu sources about 20 times now, and it seems the things that eventually call vgone & vclean check for the various counts to be certain values, not good when you want the thing to die reguardless.

From my research it seems some combination of vnode_recycle, vnode_put,

and forcing my vnodes close if my own open count is not 0. But I'm wondering if there's a better way that I'm missing.

Thanks in advance!
