We ought to better document the fact that ’switch_names’ is asymmetrical. Perhaps change it to ‘update_target_name’, and then switch the argument names so that the ’target’ really is the thing that gets updated?

The __d_materialise_dentry bugfix of course is. (What I wonder about is the duplication between this and __d_move. Is there any way to make d_materialise_unique a special case of d_move?) --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I believe this has been fixed by da1ce0670c14d8380e423a3239e562a1dc15fa9e "vfs: add cross-rename". Though probably the patch should still go in, possibly with a changelog update.
