get_empty_inode -- obtain an inode
Synopsis
struct inode * get_empty_inode ( void);
Description
This is called by things like the networking layer
etc that want to get an inode without any inode
number, or filesystems that allocate new inodes with
no pre-existing information.
On a successful return the inode pointer is returned. On a failure
a NULL pointer is returned. The returned inode is not on any superblock
lists.
