# d\_instantiate\_no\_diralias(9)

instantiate a non-aliased dentry

## NAME

d\_instantiate\_no\_diralias - instantiate a non-aliased dentry

## SYNOPSIS

**int d\_instantiate\_no\_diralias(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. If a directory alias is found, then return an error (and drop inode). Together with **d\_materialise\_unique** this guarantees that a directory inode may never have more than one alias.
