ilookup5_nowait — search for an inode in the inode cache
struct inode * ilookup5_nowait ( | struct super_block * sb, |
| unsigned long hashval, | |
int (*test)
(struct inode *, void *), | |
void * data); |
sbsuper block of file system to search
hashvalhash value (usually inode number) to search for
testcallback used for comparisons between inodes
data
opaque data pointer to pass to test
Search for the inode specified by hashval and data in the inode cache.
If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented
reference count.
I_NEW is not waited upon so you have to be very careful what you do
with the returned inode. You probably should be using ilookup5 instead.
