vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems
PATCH 1/7 vfs: fix vfs_rename_dir for FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems
From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>
vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE. If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after, but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped {old,new}_dentry. For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it.
This was caught by the recently posted POSIX fstest suite, rename/10.t test 62 (and others) on ceph.
The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2592c14bdf13b6706170ae2e94931b1 "[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"
Fix by not rehashing the new dentry. Rehashing used to be needed by d_move() but isn't anymore.
