Subject: [PATCH v2 07/28] fsnotify: add FSNOTIFY_EVENT_RENAME data type
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:35:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416-dir-deleg-v2-7-851426a550f6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416-dir-deleg-v2-0-851426a550f6@kernel.org>
Add a new fsnotify_rename_data struct and FSNOTIFY_EVENT_RENAME data
type that carries both the moved dentry and the inode that was
overwritten by the rename (if any).
Update fsnotify_data_inode(), fsnotify_data_dentry(), and
fsnotify_data_sb() to handle the new type, and add a new
fsnotify_data_rename_target() helper for extracting the overwritten
target inode.
Update fsnotify_move() to use the new data type for FS_RENAME and
FS_MOVED_TO events, passing the overwritten target inode through the
event data. FS_MOVED_FROM is unchanged since the source directory
doesn't need overwrite information.
This is done so that fsnotify consumers like nfsd can atomically
observe the overwritten file when a rename replaces an existing entry,
without needing a separate FS_DELETE event.
Assisted-by: Claude (Anthropic Claude Code)
