check_flags: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_SETFL command
- dir_notify: called by the fcntl(2) system call for F_NOTIFY command
-
flock: called by the flock(2) system call
splice_write: called by the VFS to splice data from a pipe to a file. This
d_lookup: look up a dentry given its parent and path name component
It looks up the child of that given name from the dcache
hash table. If it is found, the reference count is incremented
- and the dentry is returned. The caller must use d_put()
+ and the dentry is returned. The caller must use dput()
to free the dentry when it finishes using it.
For further information on dentry locking, please refer to the document
