hello all.
im having problem with the mentioned semantics.
can someone please clarify what am i supposed to do in the rename
function??
this is what i thought ( im dealing only with regular files, no
directories. ) :
if we'll ignore all the directory structure menagement, it comes to this->
struct inode *new_inode = new_dentry->inode;
if (new_inode){
new_inode->i_nlink--;
mark_inode_dirty(new_inode);
dput(new_dentry);
}
else { /* do nothing... */ }
is this correct? well, i thought it was, but the new_inode is not deleted
by the vfs as i supposed .
i think if someone could clarify where in the vfs code the new_inode and
the old_inode get switched ( if at all, or am i supposed to do it? ) it
will solve my misunderstanding.
anyway, thank u all.
