iget5_locked — obtain an inode from a mounted file system
struct inode * iget5_locked ( | struct super_block * sb, |
| unsigned long hashval, | |
int (*test)
(struct inode *, void *), | |
int (*set)
(struct inode *, void *), | |
void * data); |
sbsuper block of file system
hashvalhash value (usually inode number) to get
testcallback used for comparisons between inodes
setcallback used to initialize a new struct inode
data
opaque data pointer to pass to test and set
Search for the inode specified by hashval and data in the inode cache,
and if present it is return it with an increased reference count. This is
a generalized version of iget_locked for file systems where the inode
number is not sufficient for unique identification of an inode.
If the inode is not in cache, allocate a new inode and return it locked,
hashed, and with the I_NEW flag set. The file system gets to fill it in
before unlocking it via unlock_new_inode.
Note both test and set are called with the inode_hash_lock held, so can't
sleep.
