From 520c8b16505236fc82daa352e6c5e73cd9870cff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 17:08:42 +0200 Subject: vfs: add renameat2 syscall Add new renameat2 syscall, which is the same as renameat with an added flags argument. Pass flags to vfs_rename() and to i_op->rename() as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Reviewed-by: J.
