    CIFS: Fix directory rename error · a07d3220
    Pavel Shilovsky authored
    CIFS servers process nlink counts differently for files and directories.
    In cifs_rename() if we the request fails on the existing target, we
    try to remove it through cifs_unlink() but this is not what we want
    to do for directories. As the result the following sequence of commands
    
    mkdir {1,2}; mv -T 1 2; rmdir {1,2}; mkdir {1,2}; echo foo > 2/bar
    
    and XFS test generic/023 fail with -ENOENT error. That's why the second
    mkdir reuses the existing inode (target inode of the mv -T command) with
    S_DEAD flag.
    
    Fix this by checking whether the target is directory or not and
    calling cifs_rmdir() rather than cifs_unlink() for directories.
