J. Bruce Fields4b4e5a12007-07-15 23:41:53 -070056 * anon_inode_getfd - creates a new file instance by hooking it up to an
Davide Libenzi5dc8bf82007-05-10 22:23:11 -070057 * anonymous inode, and a dentry that describe the "class"
58 * of the file
59 *
60 * @pfd: [out] pointer to the file descriptor
61 * @dpinode: [out] pointer to the inode
62 * @pfile: [out] pointer to the file struct
63 * @name: [in] name of the "class" of the new file
64 * @fops [in] file operations for the new file
65 * @priv [in] private data for the new file (will be file's private_data)
66 *
67 * Creates a new file by hooking it on a single inode. This is useful for files
68 * that do not need to have a full-fledged inode in order to operate correctly.
J. Bruce Fields4b4e5a12007-07-15 23:41:53 -070069 * All the files created with anon_inode_getfd() will share a single inode,
Davide Libenzi5dc8bf82007-05-10 22:23:11 -070070 * hence saving memory and avoiding code duplication for the file/inode/dentry
71 * setup.
