We can't really afford locking the source on same-directory rename; currently vfs_rename() tries to do that, but it will have to be changed. The logics in udf_rename() is lazy and goes looking for ".." in source even in same-directory case. It's not hard to get rid of that, leaving that behaviour only for cross-directory case; that VFS can get locks safely (and will keep doing that after the coming changes).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
