cgroup: disallow rename(2) if sane_behavior

Browse source

cgroup's rename(2) isn't a proper migration implementation - it can't
move the cgroup to a different parent in the hierarchy.  All it can do
is swapping the name string for that cgroup.  This isn't useful and
can mislead users to think that cgroup supports proper cgroup-level
migration.  Disallow rename(2) if sane_behavior.

v2: Fail with -EPERM instead of -EINVAL so that it matches the vfs
    return value when ->rename is not implemented as suggested by Li.
