## 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`

  super block of file system to search

`hashval`

  hash value (usually inode number) to search for

`test`

  callback used for comparisons between inodes

`data`

  opaque data pointer to pass to `test`

## Description

Search for the inode specified by `hashval` and `data` in the inode cache. If the inode is in the cache, the inode is returned with an incremented reference count.

## Note

I_NEW 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.

## Note2

`test` is called with the inode_hash_lock held, so can't sleep.
