Loading An Inode From Disk

The "iget()" function we called to load the root inode will eventually invoke the read_inode super-block operation, stamfs_read_inode():

• Find the disk block containing the inode, based on the inode number.
• Read the inode's block.
• Initialize the VFS's inode struct with the loaded data.
• Attach STAMFS's inode-meta-data to the inode.
• Set the various VFS operations (inode-operations, file-operations, address-space operations) based on the inode's type (dir, file...).
