- * find_inode_nowait - find an inode in the inode cache
- * @sb: super block of file system to search
- * @hashval: hash value (usually inode number) to search for
- * @match: callback used for comparisons between inodes
- * @data: opaque data pointer to pass to @match
- *
- * Search for the inode specified by @hashval and @data in the inode
- * cache, where the helper function @match will return 0 if the inode
- * does not match, 1 if the inode does match, and -1 if the search
- * should be stopped. The @match function must be responsible for
- * taking the i_lock spin_lock and checking i_state for an inode being
- * freed or being initialized, and incrementing the reference count
- * before returning 1. It also must not sleep, since it is called with
- * the inode_hash_lock spinlock held.
- *
- * This is a even more generalized version of ilookup5() when the
- * function must never block --- find_inode() can block in
- * __wait_on_freeing_inode() --- or when the caller can not increment
- * the reference count because the resulting iput() might cause an
- * inode eviction. The tradeoff is that the @match funtion must be
- * very carefully implemented.
