You don't really describe what the technique is. Something like
d_find_alias() may do what you want. Without knowing more about what
you're asking, I would assume that if the technique works for ext2, it
will probably work for jfs.
I am trying to find a mechanism wherein given an inode -one can find the filename with which it is associated. The technique that comes to mind is to locate the dentry corresponding to it, and then the name field in the dentry.
Are you suggesting d_find_alias() will do the job?

I have no idea
I guess it is not file system dependent -but rather name cache dependent.

There's nothing jfs-specific about a dcache entry. If "dentry->d_flags
& DCACHE_UNHASHED" is zero, then it should be valid.
ok thanks
