/*
 * ntfs_lookup - find the inode represented by a dentry in a directory inode
 * @dir_ino:	directory inode in which to look for the inode
 * @dent:	dentry representing the inode to look for
 * @flags:	lookup flags
 *
 * In short, ntfs_lookup() looks for the inode represented by the dentry @dent
 * in the directory inode @dir_ino and if found attaches the inode to the
 * dentry @dent.
 *
 * In more detail, the dentry @dent specifies which inode to look for by
 * supplying the name of the inode in @dent->d_name.name. ntfs_lookup()
 * converts the name to Unicode and walks the contents of the directory inode
 * @dir_ino looking for the converted Unicode name. If the name is found in the
 * directory, the corresponding inode is loaded by calling ntfs_iget() on its
 * inode number and the inode is associated with the dentry @dent via a call to
 * d_splice_alias().
 *
 * If the name is not found in the directory, a NULL inode is inserted into the
 * dentry @dent via a call to d_add(). The dentry is then termed a negative
 * dentry.
 *
 * Only if an actual error occurs, do we return an error via ERR_PTR().
 *
 * In order to handle the case insensitivity issues of NTFS with regards to the
 * dcache and the dcache requiring only one dentry per directory, we deal with
 * dentry aliases that only differ in case in ->ntfs_lookup() while maintaining
 * a case sensitive dcache. This means that we get the full benefit of dcache
 * speed when the file/directory is looked up with the same case as returned by
 * ->ntfs_readdir() but that a lookup for any other case (or for the short file
 * name) will not find anything in dcache and will enter ->ntfs_lookup()
 * instead, where we search the directory for a fully matching file name
 * (including case) and if that is not found, we search for a file name that
 * matches with different case and if that has non-POSIX semantics we return
 * that. We actually do only one search (case sensitive) and keep tabs on
 * whether we have found a case insensitive match in the process.
 *
 * To simplify matters for us, we do not treat the short vs long filenames as
 * two hard links but instead if the lookup matches a short filename, we
 * return the dentry for the corresponding long filename instead.
 *
 * There are three cases we need to distinguish here:
 *
 * 1) @dent perfectly matches (i.e. including case) a directory entry with a
 *    file name in the WIN32 or POSIX namespaces. In this case
 *    ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() will return with name set to NULL and we
 *    just d_splice_alias() @dent.
 * 2) @dent matches (not including case) a directory entry with a file name in
 *    the WIN32 namespace. In this case ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() will return
 *    with name set to point to a kmalloc()ed ntfs_name structure containing
 *    the properly cased little endian Unicode name. We convert the name to the
 *    current NLS code page, search if a dentry with this name already exists
 *    and if so return that instead of @dent.  At this point things are
 *    complicated by the possibility of 'disconnected' dentries due to NFS
 *    which we deal with appropriately (see the code comments).  The VFS will
 *    then destroy the old @dent and use the one we returned.  If a dentry is
 *    not found, we allocate a new one, d_splice_alias() it, and return it as
 *    above.
 * 3) @dent matches either perfectly or not (i.e. we don't care about case) a
 *    directory entry with a file name in the DOS namespace. In this case
 *    ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() will return with name set to point to a
 *    kmalloc()ed ntfs_name structure containing the mft reference (cpu endian)
 *    of the inode. We use the mft reference to read the inode and to find the
 *    file name in the WIN32 namespace corresponding to the matched short file
 *    name. We then convert the name to the current NLS code page, and proceed
 *    searching for a dentry with this name, etc, as in case 2), above.
 *
 * Locking: Caller must hold i_mutex on the directory.
