Name

lookup_one_len_unlocked — filesystem helper to lookup single pathname component

Synopsis

struct dentry * lookup_one_len_unlocked (const char * name,
 struct dentry * base,
 int len);
 

Arguments

const char * name

pathname component to lookup

struct dentry * base

base directory to lookup from

int len

maximum length len should be interpreted to

Description

Note that this routine is purely a helper for filesystem usage and should not be called by generic code.

Unlike lookup_one_len, it should be called without the parent i_mutex held, and will take the i_mutex itself if necessary.
