VFS_RENAME(9)							   The Linux VFS						     VFS_RENAME(9)

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.

NAME

       securityfs_create_file - create a file in the securityfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       struct dentry * securityfs_create_file(const char * name, umode_t mode, struct dentry * parent, void * data,
					      const struct file_operations * fops);

ARGUMENTS

       name
	   a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.

       mode
	   the permission that the file should have

       parent
	   a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the file will
	   be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.

       data
	   a pointer to something that the caller will want to get to later on. The inode.i_private pointer will point to this value on the open
	   call.

       fops
	   a pointer to a struct file_operations that should be used for this file.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the basic "create a file" function for securityfs. It allows for a wide range of flexibility in creating a file, or a directory (if
       you want to create a directory, the securityfs_create_dir function is recommended to be used instead).

       This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This pointer must be passed to the securityfs_remove function when the file is
       to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded, you are responsible here). If an error occurs, the function will
       return the erorr value (via ERR_PTR).

       If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV is returned.
