NAME¶

ilookup5_nowait - search for an inode in the inode cache

SYNOPSIS¶

struct inode * ilookup5_nowait(struct super_block * sb, unsigned long hashval, int (*test) (struct inode *, void *), void * data);

ARGUMENTS¶

sb

hashval

test

data

DESCRIPTION¶

ilookup5 uses ifind to search for the inode specified by hashval and data in the inode cache. This is a generalized version of ilookup for file systems where the inode number is not sufficient for unique identification of an inode.

If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented reference count. Note, the inode lock 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.

Otherwise NULL is returned.

Note, test is called with the inode_lock held, so can´t sleep.
