35 * @idx_ni: index inode containing the @entry described by this context
36 * @entry: index entry (points into @ir or @ia)
37 * @data: index entry data (points into @entry)
38 * @data_len: length in bytes of @data
39 * @is_in_root: TRUE if @entry is in @ir and FALSE if it is in @ia
40 * @ir: index root if @is_in_root and NULL otherwise
41 * @actx: attribute search context if @is_in_root and NULL otherwise
42 * @base_ni: base inode if @is_in_root and NULL otherwise
43 * @ia: index block if @is_in_root is FALSE and NULL otherwise
44 * @page: page if @is_in_root is FALSE and NULL otherwise
46 * @idx_ni is the index inode this context belongs to.
48 * @entry is the index entry described by this context. @data and @data_len
49 * are the index entry data and its length in bytes, respectively. @data
50 * simply points into @entry. This is probably what the user is interested in.
52 * If @is_in_root is TRUE, @entry is in the index root attribute @ir described
53 * by the attribute search context @actx and the base inode @base_ni. @ia and
54 * @page are NULL in this case.
56 * If @is_in_root is FALSE, @entry is in the index allocation attribute and @ia
57 * and @page point to the index allocation block and the mapped, locked page it
58 * is in, respectively. @ir, @actx and @base_ni are NULL in this case.
60 * To obtain a context call ntfs_index_ctx_get().
62 * We use this context to allow ntfs_index_lookup() to return the found index
63 * @entry and its @data without having to allocate a buffer and copy the @entry
64 * and/or its @data into it.
66 * When finished with the @entry and its @data, call ntfs_index_ctx_put() to
67 * free the context and other associated resources.
69 * If the index entry was modified, call flush_dcache_index_entry_page()
70 * immediately after the modification and either ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty()
71 * or ntfs_index_entry_write() before the call to ntfs_index_ctx_put() to
72 * ensure that the changes are written to disk.

136 * dirty index block, will be written out to disk later.
