kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the specified ino. On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest of ID. On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen? In practice, this is a distinction without a difference because generation number starts at 1. There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always safely used as wildcard. Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it, and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
