From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Move the d_move() in vfs_rename_dir() up, similarly to how it's done in vfs_rename_other(). The next patch will consolidate these two functions and this is the only structural difference between them. I'm not sure if doing the d_move() after the dput is even valid. But there may be a logical explanation for that. But moving the d_move() before the dput() (and the mutex_unlock()) should definitely not hurt.
