Subject: Getting dentry from inode
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 10:08:43 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060417170843.14107.qmail@web37912.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hello All,
I want to know about these two questions.
(1) How to get a pointer to an inode if one has only
the inode number available. May I use the iget()
function. I only want a reference to the inode whose
number I have.
(2) How to get the dentry from inode. Is d_find_alias
ok. There can be multiple dentries attached to a
single inode then which dentry will d_find_alias will
return. I want only access to a dentry from inode
number.
Thanks,
Uzair Lakhani
