My understanding of your patches is to introduce the silent corruption bug by getting wrong location via ino on some cases, instead of ESTALE. And make surprise to userland by change ino.
Why is it safe to change ino? If you are saying to remove the changing ino on rename, how handle the case of collision? -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
