Subject: [PATCH 0/9] symlink fixes and improvements
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 09:09:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fs-symlink-fixes-v1-0-e7ac8c29b08a@pengutronix.de> (raw)
symlinks in ramfs are created with the wrong filesize causing broken
symlinks on envfs. Looking into this revealed other shortcomings which
are fixed in this series. As a bonus the ln command gets an ignored
-s option and also the link destination can now be an existing directory
in which case it behaves like the linux ln command.
