NAME

d_instantiate_unique - instantiate a non-aliased dentry

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

struct dentry * d_instantiate_unique (struct dentry * entry, struct inode * inode);

ARGUMENTS

entry: dentry to instantiate
inode: inode to attach to this dentry

DESCRIPTION

Fill in inode information in the entry. On success, it returns NULL. If an unhashed alias of ``entry'' already exists, then we return the aliased dentry instead.

Note that in order to avoid conflicts with rename etc, the caller had better be holding the parent directory semaphore.
