NAME
       d_instantiate - fill in inode information for a dentry

SYNOPSIS
       void d_instantiate(struct dentry * entry, struct inode * inode);

ARGUMENTS
       entry
           dentry to complete

       inode
           inode to attach to this dentry

DESCRIPTION
       Fill in inode information in the entry.

       This turns negative dentries into productive full members of society.

       NOTE! This assumes that the inode count has been incremented (or otherwise set) by the
       caller to indicate that it is now in use by the dcache.
