+ * Decide if this is this a cached inode that's also allocated.
+ *
+ * Look up an inode by number in the given file system.  If the inode is
+ * in cache and isn't in purgatory, return 1 if the inode is allocated
+ * and 0 if it is not.  For all other cases (not in cache, being torn
+ * down, etc.), return a negative error code.
+ *
+ * The caller has to prevent inode allocation and freeing activity,
+ * presumably by locking the AGI buffer.   This is to ensure that an
+ * inode cannot transition from allocated to freed until the caller is
+ * ready to allow that.  If the inode is in an intermediate state (new,
+ * reclaimable, or being reclaimed), -EAGAIN will be returned; if the
+ * inode is not in the cache, -ENOENT will be returned.  The caller must
+ * deal with these scenarios appropriately.
+ *
+ * This is a specialized use case for the online scrubber; if you're
+ * reading this, you probably want xfs_iget.
