#3358 assigned enhancement

Move the directory move check into the VFS layer

Reported by: axeld Owned by: nobody
Priority: low Milestone: R1.1

Description

When moving a directory, we currently burden the check to not move the directory into itself on the file systems.

This should better be done in the VFS layer instead, so all file systems can benefit from it.

Still relevant?

Still relevant as far as I can see. The code to check this is in kernel_interface.cpp for bfs at line 1205 ("Don't move a directory into one of it's childre" as a comment). It should be moved, if I'm reading this right, to src/kernel/fs/vfs.cpp in the common_rename function.
