.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBntfs_read_locked_attr_inode\fR is called from the \fBntfs_attr_iget\fR to read
the attribute inode described by \fIvi\fR into memory from the base mft record
described by \fIbase_ni\fR\&.
.PP
\fBntfs_read_locked_attr_inode\fR maps, pins and locks the base inode for
reading and looks up the attribute described by \fIvi\fR before setting up the
necessary fields in \fIvi\fR as well as initializing the ntfs inode.
.SH "Q"

i_state has I_LOCK set, hence the inode is locked, also
i_count is set to 1, so it is not going to go away
