[PATCH] vfs: call rename2 if exists

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Wed May 14 2014 - 11:27:31 EST


Al,

The below patch calls ->rename2() if it exists even for flags == 0. This will
allow a gradual elimination of ->rename() implementations and finally merging
the two ops.

Please consider pushing this to 3.15, but at least ACK-ing it so I can work on
followup patches for handing RENAME_NOREPLACE in filesystems.

Thanks,
Miklos

Christoph Hellwig suggests:

1) make vfs_rename call ->rename2 if it exists instead of ->rename
2) switch all filesystems that you're adding NOREPLACE support for to
use ->rename2
3) see how many ->rename instances we'll have left after a few
iterations of 2.
