NAME

pcihpfs_create_by_name - create a file, given a name

SYNOPSIS

int pcihpfs_create_by_name (const char *name, mode_t mode, struct dentry *parent, struct dentry **dentry);

ARGUMENTS

name: name of file
mode: type of file
parent: dentry of directory to create it in
dentry: resulting dentry of file

DESCRIPTION

There is a bit of overhead in creating a file - basically, we have to hash the name of the file, then look it up. This will prevent files of the same name. We then call the proper vfs_ function to take care of all the file creation details. This function handles both regular files and directories.
