+/* [Feb-1997 T. Schoebel-Theuer]
+ * Fundamental changes in the pathname lookup mechanisms (namei)
+ * were necessary because of omirr.  The reason is that omirr needs
+ * to know the _real_ pathname, not the user-supplied one, in case
+ * of symlinks (and also when transname replacements occur).
+ *
+ * The new code replaces the old recursive symlink resolution with
+ * an iterative one (in case of non-nested symlink chains).  It does
+ * this with calls to <fs>_follow_link().
+ * As a side effect, dir_namei(), _namei() and follow_link() are now 
+ * replaced with a single function lookup_dentry() that can handle all 
+ * the special cases of the former code.
+ *
+ * With the new dcache, the pathname is stored at each inode, at least as
+ * long as the refcount of the inode is positive.  As a side effect, the
+ * size of the dcache depends on the inode cache and thus is dynamic.
+ *
+ * [29-Apr-1998 C. Scott Ananian] Updated above description of symlink
+ * resolution to correspond with current state of the code.
+ *
+ * Note that the symlink resolution is not *completely* iterative.
+ * There is still a significant amount of tail- and mid- recursion in
+ * the algorithm.  Also, note that <fs>_readlink() is not used in
+ * lookup_dentry(): lookup_dentry() on the result of <fs>_readlink()
+ * may return different results than <fs>_follow_link().  Many virtual
+ * filesystems (including /proc) exhibit this behavior.
+ */
+
+/* [24-Feb-97 T. Schoebel-Theuer] Side effects caused by new implementation:
+ * New symlink semantics: when open() is called with flags O_CREAT | O_EXCL
+ * and the name already exists in form of a symlink, try to create the new
+ * name indicated by the symlink. The old code always complained that the
+ * name already exists, due to not following the symlink even if its target
+ * is nonexistent.  The new semantics affects also mknod() and link() when
+ * the name is a symlink pointing to a non-existent name.
+ *
+ * I don't know which semantics is the right one, since I have no access
+ * to standards. But I found by trial that HP-UX 9.0 has the full "new"
+ * semantics implemented, while SunOS 4.1.1 and Solaris (SunOS 5.4) have the
+ * "old" one. Personally, I think the new semantics is much more logical.
+ * Note that "ln old new" where "new" is a symlink pointing to a non-existing
+ * file does succeed in both HP-UX and SunOs, but not in Solaris
+ * and in the old Linux semantics.
+ */

+
+/* [Feb-Apr 2000 AV] Complete rewrite. Rules for symlinks:

+ * vfs_rename - rename a filesystem object
+ * @old_dir:	parent of source
+ * @old_dentry:	source
+ * @new_dir:	parent of destination
+ * @new_dentry:	destination
+ * @delegated_inode: returns an inode needing a delegation break
+ * @flags:	rename flags
+ *
+ * The caller must hold multiple mutexes--see lock_rename()).
+ *
+ * If vfs_rename discovers a delegation in need of breaking at either
+ * the source or destination, it will return -EWOULDBLOCK and return a
+ * reference to the inode in delegated_inode.  The caller should then
+ * break the delegation and retry.  Because breaking a delegation may
+ * take a long time, the caller should drop all locks before doing
+ * so.
+ *
+ * Alternatively, a caller may pass NULL for delegated_inode.  This may
+ * be appropriate for callers that expect the underlying filesystem not
+ * to be NFS exported.
+ *
+ * The worst of all namespace operations - renaming directory. "Perverted"
+ * doesn't even start to describe it. Somebody in UCB had a heck of a trip...
+ * Problems:
+ *
+ *	a) we can get into loop creation.
+ *	b) race potential - two innocent renames can create a loop together.
+ *	   That's where 4.4 screws up. Current fix: serialization on
+ *	   sb->s_vfs_rename_mutex. We might be more accurate, but that's another
+ *	   story.
+ *	c) we have to lock _four_ objects - parents and victim (if it exists),
+ *	   and source (if it is not a directory).
+ *	   And that - after we got ->i_mutex on parents (until then we don't know
+ *	   whether the target exists).  Solution: try to be smart with locking
+ *	   order for inodes.  We rely on the fact that tree topology may change
+ *	   only under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex _and_ that parent of the object we
+ *	   move will be locked.  Thus we can rank directories by the tree
+ *	   (ancestors first) and rank all non-directories after them.
+ *	   That works since everybody except rename does "lock parent, lookup,
+ *	   lock child" and rename is under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex.
+ *	   HOWEVER, it relies on the assumption that any object with ->lookup()
+ *	   has no more than 1 dentry.  If "hybrid" objects will ever appear,
+ *	   we'd better make sure that there's no link(2) for them.
+ *	d) conversion from fhandle to dentry may come in the wrong moment - when
+ *	   we are removing the target. Solution: we will have to grab ->i_mutex
+ *	   in the fhandle_to_dentry code. [FIXME - current nfsfh.c relies on
+ *	   ->i_mutex on parents, which works but leads to some truly excessive
+ *	   locking].
