.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIdentry\fR
.RS 4
the negative dentry that was passed to the parent\*(Aqs lookup func
.RE
.PP
\fIinode\fR
.RS 4
the inode case\-insensitive lookup has found
.RE

\fIname\fR
.RS 4
the case\-exact name to be associated with the returned dentry

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This is to avoid filling the dcache with case\-insensitive names to the same inode, only the actual correct case is stored in the dcache for case\-insensitive filesystems\&.
.PP
For a case\-insensitive lookup match and if the the case\-exact dentry already exists in in the dcache, use it and return it\&.
.PP
If no entry exists with the exact case name, allocate new dentry with the exact case, and return the spliced entry\&.
