NAME
vfs_rename - rename a filesystem object
SYNOPSIS
int vfs_rename(struct inode * old_dir, struct dentry * old_dentry, struct inode * new_dir, struct dentry * new_dentry, struct inode ** delegated_inode);
ARGUMENTS
old_dir parent of source old_dentry source new_dir parent of destination new_dentry destination delegated_inode returns an inode needing a delegation break
DESCRIPTION
The caller must hold multiple mutexes--see lock_rename). If vfs_rename discovers a delegation in need of breaking at either the source or destination, it will return -EWOULDBLOCK and return a reference to the inode in delegated_inode. The caller should then break the delegation and retry. Because breaking a delegation may take a long time, the caller should drop all locks before doing so. Alternatively, a caller may pass NULL for delegated_inode. This may be appropriate for callers that expect the underlying filesystem not to be NFS exported.
