[patch 3/4] nfs: dont unhash target if renaming a directory

[Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>]

[-- Attachment #1: nfs_rename_dont_unhash_if_dir.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2829 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Move unhashing the target to after the check for existence and being a
non-directory.

If renaming a directory then the VFS already unhashes the target if it
is not busy.  If it's busy then acquiring more references during the
rename makes no difference.
