Null pointer dereference with mv

[hayley-leblanc]

Just using rename seems to work fine, but the mv utility uses multiple calls to rename and renameat2 in a way that causes problems.

To reproduce:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/pmem/A; sudo mkdir /mnt/pmem/B; sudo mkdir /mnt/pmem/C; sudo touch /mnt/pmem/A/foo; sudo touch /mnt/pmem/A/bar; sudo strace mv /mnt/pmem/A/foo /mnt/pmem/B/foo
