Merge branch 'cross-rename' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs

Pull renameat2 system call from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
  but with a flags argument.

  The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
  variant of rename, which exchanges the two files.  This allows
  interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
  atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc...  This
  also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.

  Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
  overwriting behavior of rename.

  These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
  implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"

* 'cross-rename' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ext4: add cross rename support
  ext4: rename: split out helper functions
  ext4: rename: move EMLINK check up
  ext4: rename: create ext4_renament structure for local vars
  vfs: add cross-rename
  vfs: lock_two_nondirectories: allow directory args
  security: add flags to rename hooks
  vfs: add RENAME_NOREPLACE flag
  vfs: add renameat2 syscall
  vfs: rename: use common code for dir and non-dir
  vfs: rename: move d_move() up
  vfs: add d_is_dir()

   rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to

+  rename2: this has an additional flags argument compared to rename.
+	If no flags are supported by the filesystem then this method
+	need not be implemented.  If some flags are supported then the
+	filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or unknown
+	flags.  Currently the following flags are implemented:
+	(1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target
+	of the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST
+	instead of replacing the target.  The VFS already checks for
+	existence, so for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE
+	implementation is equivalent to plain rename.
+	(2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target.  Both must
+	exist; this is checked by the VFS.  Unlike plain rename,
+	source and target may be of different type.
+
   readlink: called by the readlink(2) system call. Only required if
 	you want to support reading symbolic links
