INODE_ADD_TO_LISTS(9) | The Linux VFS | INODE_ADD_TO_LISTS(9) |
NAME¶
inode_add_to_lists - add a new inode to relevant lists
SYNOPSIS¶
void inode_add_to_lists(struct super_block * sb, struct inode * inode);
ARGUMENTS¶
sb
superblock inode belongs to
inode
inode to mark in use
DESCRIPTION¶
When an inode is allocated it needs to be accounted for, added to the in use list, the owning superblock and the inode hash. This needs to be done under the inode_lock, so export a function to do this rather than the inode lock itself. We calculate the hash list to add to here so it is all internal which requires the caller to have already set up the inode number in the inode to add.
