[PATCH v2] uapi/fcntl: define RENAME_* and AT_RENAME_* macros
From: Randy Dunlap <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-01 23:14:59
Also in:
linux-fsdevel, linux-patches
Define the RENAME_* and AT_RENAME_* macros exactly the same as in
recent glibc <stdio.h> so that duplicate definition build errors in
both samples/watch_queue/watch_test.c and samples/vfs/test-statx.c
no longer happen. When they defined in exactly the same way in
multiple places, the build errors are prevented.
Defining only the AT_RENAME_* macros is not sufficient since they
depend on the RENAME_* macros, which may not be defined when the
AT_RENAME_* macros are used.
Build errors being fixed:
for samples/vfs/test-statx.c:
