Please use the following bug reporting template to help produce actionable and reproducible issues. Please try to ensure that the reproduction is minimal so that the team can go through more bugs!

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38304 Feb 7 15:04 init/calibrate.o.rc

the rename cmd is from windows? has windows translate the mv oper into rename cmd of windows? for linux hasn't the cmd like this.
the target file is existed, so the rename cmd failed.
this is the root cause of the bug?

#44

from this bug , I change the kernel build folder from windows to ~/( that is : C:\Users\ YOUR_USER_NAME \AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs), and everything is ok.

[aseering]

Hi @huawei-nos -- I'm glad you found a fix! You might consider trying an Insider build to see if this has been fixed there.

Just so you know, strace doesn't trace commands; it traces syscalls, low-level programmatic function calls into the Linux (or, in this case, WSL) kernel. rename() actually is a Linux syscall.

[huawei-nos]

yes, you are right, the rename is the syscall and locate at kernel code namei.c
SYSCALL_DEFINE2(rename, const char __user *, oldname, const char __user *, newname)
{
return sys_renameat2(AT_FDCWD, oldname, AT_FDCWD, newname, 0);
}
so the problem is because the oldfile and newfile are all existed, on windows filesystem the syscall return -1.

[huawei-nos]

but I write a demo prog call rename syscall to rename the two files, no errors even on windows part.
/workfolder is a link to a windows folder

   int
   main(int argc, char *argv[])
   {
       int iret;

       //tid = syscall(SYS_gettid);
       iret = syscall(SYS_rename, argv[1], argv[2]);

       return  iret;
   }

[aseering]

One thought: Regular Windows NTFS is case-insensitive, but most Linux filesystems are case-sensitive. Could it be that the kernel build system is trying to create two separate files that have names that are the same except for capitalization?

[huawei-nos]

zoge@VM1-:~/workfolder/kernel/build-linux$ ls -a -l ~/workfolder
lrwxrwxrwx 1 zoge zoge 17 Nov 26 10:03 /home/zoge/workfolder -> /mnt/d/workfolder

zoge@VM1-:/workfolder/kernel/build-linux$ touch AAA
zoge@VM1-:/workfolder/kernel/build-linux$ touch aaa
zoge@VM1-:~/workfolder/kernel/build-linux$ ls -a -l
total 333
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Feb 8 15:23 .
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Dec 27 10:39 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 8 15:23 aaa
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 8 15:23 AAA

from above , it sames like that even on ntfs part, bash on windows can recognize the aaa adnd AAA file.

see my posts above, the error I getted from strace is
[pid 11864] rename("init/calibrate.o.rc", "init/calibrate.o") = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
init/calibrate.o.rc and init/calibrate.o existed and have different size,

first I thought the bug is because the target file exist and ntfs cannot permit the oper.

but I run a demo to call linux's syscall rename to retry the oper, it succeeds.

but if I delete all the two files and rebuild the kernel, the error existed again.
it is strange that why call rename directly pass but failed when build linux kernel.

[huawei-nos]

mv the kernel build to ~/build-linux, the rename is called also , when build the kernel, but this time it is ok!
