jffs2: reduce the breakage on recovery from halfway failed rename()
commit f93812846f31381d35c04c6c577d724254355e7f upstream. d_instantiate(new_dentry, old_inode) is absolutely wrong thing to do - it will oops if new_dentry used to be positive, for starters. What we need is d_invalidate() the target and be done with that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
