>Description:
When moving dirs across devices it does not check for moving some/dir/.. over ./.. dir (or more generally it allows moving a dir over contents of existing dir).
rename(2) disallows moving some/dir/.. over ./.. (but it works withing a filesystem).
>How-To-Repeat:
[697]$ cd
[698]$ df . /var/tmp
Filesystem      1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vinum/home   3949805 2850542  783279    78%    /home
/dev/vinum/var    9290542 3212148 5335152    38%    /var
[699]$ mkdir -p /var/tmp/1/1
[700]$ touch /var/tmp/1/11 /var/tmp/1/12;
[701]$ mkdir -p 2/2; cd 2/2
[702]$ ls
[703]$ ls ..
2
[704]$ mv /var/tmp/1/1/.. .
mv: "." and ".." may not be removed
mv: /bin/rm: terminated with 1 (non-zero) status: Cross-device link
[705]$ ls ..
1       11      12      2

BUT

[710]$ cd
[711]$ mkdir -p 1/1; touch 1/11 1/12
[712]$ mkdir -p 2/2
[713]$ cd 2/2
[714]$ mv ../../1/1/.. .
mv: rename ../../1/1/.. to ./..: Invalid argument
