Sven Eckelmann 6da7be7d24 batman-adv: Fix debugfs path for renamed softif
batman-adv is creating special debugfs directories in the init
net_namespace for each created soft-interface (batadv net_device). But it
is possible to rename a net_device to a completely different name then the
original one.

It can therefore happen that a user registers a new batadv net_device with
the name "bat0". batman-adv is then also adding a new directory under
$debugfs/batman-adv/ with the name "wlan0".

The user then decides to rename this device to "bat1" and registers a
different batadv device with the name "bat0". batman-adv will then try to
create a directory with the name "bat0" under $debugfs/batman-adv/ again.
But there already exists one with this name under this path and thus this
fails. batman-adv will detect a problem and rollback the registering of
this device.

batman-adv must therefore take care of renaming the debugfs directories for
soft-interfaces whenever it detects such a net_device rename.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
