Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/8] non-consuming variant of do_renameat2()
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 07:41:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108074201.435280-2-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108074201.435280-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
filename_renameat2() replaces do_renameat2(); unlike the latter,
it does not drop filename references - these days it can be just
as easily arranged in the caller.

+is that the former used to consume filename references; the latter does
