NAME

6       ilookup5_nowait - search for an inode in the inode cache
7

SYNOPSIS

9       struct inode * ilookup5_nowait(struct super_block * sb,
10                                      unsigned long hashval,
11                                      int (*test) (struct inode *, void *),
12                                      void * data);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       sb
16           super block of file system to search
17
18       hashval
19           hash value (usually inode number) to search for
20
21       test
22           callback used for comparisons between inodes
23
24       data
25           opaque data pointer to pass to test
26

DESCRIPTION

28       ilookup5 uses ifind to search for the inode specified by hashval and
29       data in the inode cache. This is a generalized version of ilookup for
30       file systems where the inode number is not sufficient for unique
31       identification of an inode.
32
33       If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented
34       reference count. Note, the inode lock is not waited upon so you have to
35       be very careful what you do with the returned inode. You probably
36       should be using ilookup5 instead.
37
38       Otherwise NULL is returned.
39
40       Note, test is called with the inode_lock held, so can´t sleep.
