   rename: called by the rename(2) system call to rename the object to
 	have the parent and name given by the second inode and dentry.
 
+  rename2: this has an additional flags argument compared to rename.
+	If no flags are supported by the filesystem then this method
+	need not be implemented.  If some flags are supported then the
+	filesystem must return -EINVAL for any unsupported or unknown
+	flags.  Currently the following flags are implemented:
+	(1) RENAME_NOREPLACE: this flag indicates that if the target
+	of the rename exists the rename should fail with -EEXIST
+	instead of replacing the target.  The VFS already checks for
+	existence, so for local filesystems the RENAME_NOREPLACE
+	implementation is equivalent to plain rename.
+	(2) RENAME_EXCHANGE: exchange source and target.  Both must
+	exist; this is checked by the VFS.  Unlike plain rename,
+	source and target may be of different type.
+
   readlink: called by the readlink(2) system call. Only required if
 	you want to support reading symbolic links
