LOOKUP_ONE_LEN_UNLOC(9)                   The Linux VFS                   LOOKUP_ONE_LEN_UNLOC(9)



NAME
       lookup_one_len_unlocked - filesystem helper to lookup single pathname component

SYNOPSIS
       struct dentry * lookup_one_len_unlocked(const char * name, struct dentry * base, int len);

ARGUMENTS
       name
           pathname component to lookup

       base
           base directory to lookup from

       len
           maximum length len should be interpreted to

DESCRIPTION
       Note that this routine is purely a helper for filesystem usage and should not be called by
       generic code.

       Unlike lookup_one_len, it should be called without the parent i_mutex held, and will take
       the i_mutex itself if necessary.
