Linus,
Could you please consider pulling the cross-rename patches. The git tree has a
conflict in arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl where the syscall number needs to
be fixed. The patchset has been reviewed by Jan Kara and the man page and
usperpace API by Michael Kerrisk.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git cross-rename
This series adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat() but
with a flags argument.
The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric variant of
rename, which exchanges the two files. This allows interesting things, which
were not possible before, for example atomically replacing a directory tree with
a symlink, etc... This also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on
whiteouts atomically.
Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
overwriting behavior of rename.
These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only implemented for
ext4 as an example and for testing.
Thanks,
Miklos

I updated the cross-rename patches to apply cleanly against latest mainline
(three trivial conflicts and fixup of up a warning in fs/kernfs/dir.c). The
updated tree is here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git cross-rename.rebase
Please pull.
Thanks,
Miklos
