Summary: file sync wrong on cofs, command after mv/rename fails

Initial Comment:
I found some problem in cofs filesystem.
ex:
mv t1 t2
stat t2

many times I got "t2 not found".
it see like the second command exec before the first finished.

Message:
Yes, SVN r1127 corrected only the swapped atime and mtime, and not the
cache problem on rename.

You have a patch? Nice. Please let's see.

Message:
Unfortunately, SVN revision r1127 do not fix this bug.
When I remove my "d_move" patch, problem was recurrence.

Message:
With these script the "touch -d 1970-1-1 b" after the "mv" fails all
times:
  rm -f a b
  touch a
  mv a b
  touch -d 1970-1-1 b
  ls --full-time b

Same problem with overwrite on move:
  touch a b
  mv a b
  touch -d 1970-1-1 b
  ls --full-time b

On cofs the touch after "mv" fails:
touch: setting times of `b': No such file or directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-10-27 23:29:50.000000000 +0000 b

On cobd or with 'nocache' it works:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000 b

Close inode cache possible loss performance, it is a little bug in rename
only.
I fix this bug yesterday. and I will use the my new kernel some days,
if that has other problem, I can fix it.

Message:
The inode cache is default enabled for 1 Second. You can disable it by
adding "nocache" to mount options, for example:

  mount -o nocache -t cofs 0 /mnt/windows

More cosf options, see cofs.txt in your coLinux installation or here:

I trace the code, it see like rename bug, the filename change, but inode
not.
