NAME¶

d_backing_inode - Get upper or lower inode we should be using

SYNOPSIS¶

struct inode * d_backing_inode(const struct dentry * upper);

ARGUMENTS¶

upper

DESCRIPTION¶

This is the helper that should be used to get at the inode that will be used if this dentry were to be opened as a file. The inode may be on the upper dentry or it may be on a lower dentry pinned by the upper.

Normal filesystems should not use this to access their own inodes.
