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.
