Please consider the trace below.
As I don't know what you're tracing, I don't know what to consider.But really, the basic idea is simple: renameat mishandles the case where old and new names are already hard links, and any code based on renameat needs to work around this problem. (We can't easily change renameat's behavior, as the behavior is required by POSIX.)
