From 9bc37e04823b5280dd0f22b6680fc23fe81ca325 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2023 07:34:34 +0900 Subject: fs: introduce lock_rename_child() helper Pass the dentry of a source file and the dentry of a destination directory to lock parent inodes for rename. As soon as this function returns, ->d_parent of the source file dentry is stable and inodes are properly locked for calling vfs-rename. This helper is needed for ksmbd server. rename request of SMB protocol has to rename an opened file, no matter which directory it's in.
