NAME

6       iget_locked - obtain an inode from a mounted file system
7

SYNOPSIS

9       struct inode * iget_locked(struct super_block * sb, unsigned long ino);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       sb
13           super block of file system
14
15       ino
16           inode number to get
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Search for the inode specified by ino in the inode cache and if present
20       return it with an increased reference count. This is for file systems
21       where the inode number is sufficient for unique identification of an
22       inode.
23
24       If the inode is not in cache, allocate a new inode and return it
25       locked, hashed, and with the I_NEW flag set. The file system gets to
26       fill it in before unlocking it via unlock_new_inode.
