NEW_INODE(9)                              The Linux VFS                              NEW_INODE(9)



NAME
       new_inode - obtain an inode

SYNOPSIS
       struct inode * new_inode(struct super_block * sb);

ARGUMENTS
       sb
           superblock

DESCRIPTION
       Allocates a new inode for given superblock. The default gfp_mask for allocations related
       to inode->i_mapping is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. If HIGHMEM pages are unsuitable or it is
       known that pages allocated for the page cache are not reclaimable or migratable,
       mapping_set_gfp_mask must be called with suitable flags on the newly created inode's
       mapping
