From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> For filesystems that are case insensitive and case preserving, we need to be able to rename from one case folded variant of the filename to another. Currently, if we have looked up the target filename before the call to rename, then we may have a hashed dentry with that target name in the dcache, causing the vfs to optimise away the rename. To avoid that, let's drop the target dentry, and leave it to the server to optimise away the rename if that is the correct thing to do.
