Hi all, It seems that I forgot to rename guards in v2. This is the correct version. My apologize for noise. Yury

From: Yury Norov <redacted> Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 09:51:49 +0300 To: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>, Alexander Viro [off-list ref], Florian Weimer [off-list ref] CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-api@vger.kernel.org, libc-alpha@sourceware.org Subject: [PATCH v2] UAPI: move RENAME_* definitions to separated file Discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180702084622.GA15274@yury-thinkpad/ (local) Although RENAME_* macros are exposed in kernel headers, they are not used by glibc. That's because linux/fs.h which hosts RENAME_* is considered unsuitable by glibc developers: As Florian Weimer wrote:
<linux/fs.h> undefines and defines macros not mentioned in the standards (and it even contains a few unrelated structs), so we cannot include it without _GNU_SOURCE. It might be possible to include it only for _GNU_SOURCE, but there are a lot of things in <linux/fs.h>, so that does not seem to be particularly advisable.
In this patch RENAME_* is removed to a separated header file that conforms the standards and therefore is suitable for inclusion by glibc. v2: - rename dedicated file to 'rename-flags.h', as requested by Florian.
