[PATCH v1 0/2] Fix shmem_rename2 directory offset calculation

[cel@kernel.org]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

The existing code in shmem_rename2() allocates a fresh directory
offset value when renaming over an existing destination entry. User
space does not expect this behavior. In particular, applications
that rename while walking a directory can loop indefinitely because
they never reach the end of the directory.

The first patch in this series corrects that problem, which exists
in v6.6 - current. The second patch is a clean-up and can be deferred
until v6.10.

Chuck Lever (2):
  shmem: Fix shmem_rename2()
  libfs: Clean up the simple_offset API
