Subject: non-consuming variant of do_renameat2()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6d50234ccb9ff54addd579032a146aef52e7541;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

non-consuming variant of do_renameat2()

filename_renameat2() replaces do_renameat2(); unlike the latter,
it does not drop filename references - these days it can be just
as easily arranged in the caller.

+fs/namei.c primitives that consume filesystem references (do_renameat2(),
+do_linkat(), do_symlinkat(), do_mkdirat(), do_mknodat(), do_unlinkat()
+and do_rmdir()) are getting replaced with non-consuming analogues
+(filename_renameat2(), etc.)  Replaced so far: do_renameat2().
