Each file system needs to know how to take an inode number and translate it to an inode. For example, in ext2, ext2_read_inode gets an empty inode and needs to fill it in. To do this, it calls ext2_get_inode with the inode number that was put in the inode. The code is pretty complicated, and is dependent on the file system's layout.
