  * When switching names, the actual string doesn't strictly have to

- * the new name before we switch.

- * Note that we have to be a lot more careful about getting the hash
- * switched - we have to switch the hash value properly even if it
- * then no longer matches the actual (corrupted) string of the target.
- * The hash value has to match the hash queue that the dentry is on..
+ * the new name before we switch, unless we are going to rehash
+ * it.  Note that if we *do* unhash the target, we are not allowed
+ * to rehash it without giving it a new name/hash key - whether
+ * we swap or overwrite the names here, resulting name won't match
+ * the reality in filesystem; it's only there for d_path() purposes.

+ * any hash lookup seeing it in the middle of manipulations will
+ * be discarded anyway.  So we do not care what happens to the hash
