[PATCH] VFS: Make d_materialise_unique() enforce directory uniqueness
If the caller tries to instantiate a directory using an inode that already has a dentry alias, then we attempt to rename the existing dentry instead of instantiating a new one. Fail with an ELOOP error if the rename would affect one of our parent directories. This behaviour is needed in order to avoid issues such as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7178 Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Cc: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Cc: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
