From e325a88f17196f18888f6e1426eb9fe3b4346d28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivas Eeda Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:49:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix rename vs unlink race If another node unlinks the destination while ocfs2_rename() is waiting on a cluster lock, ocfs2_rename() simply logs an error and continues. This causes a crash because the renaming node is now trying to delete a non-existent inode. The correct solution is to return -ENOENT.
