      bpf, inode: allow for rename and link ops · bb35a6ef
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Add support for renaming and hard links to the fs. Most of this can be
      implemented by using simple library operations under the same constraints
      that we don't use a reserved name like elsewhere. Linking can be useful
      to share/manage things like maps across subsystem users. It works within
      the file system boundary, but is not allowed for directories.
      
      Symbolic links are explicitly not implemented here, as it can be better
      done already by doing bind mounts inside bpf fs to set up shared directories
      f.e. useful when using volumes in docker containers that map a private
      working directory into /sys/fs/bpf/ which contains itself a bind mounted
      path from the host's /sys/fs/bpf/ mount that is shared among multiple
      containers. For single maps instead of whole directory, hard links can
      be easily used to do the same.
