Subject: [PATCH 2/9] fs: qemu_fw_cfg: report symlink target length as st_size
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 09:09:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fs-symlink-fixes-v1-2-e7ac8c29b08a@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-fs-symlink-fixes-v1-0-e7ac8c29b08a@pengutronix.de>
The by_name/ entries are symlinks into by_key/, but their inodes are
left with i_size 0, so 'ls -l' and lstat() report a size of 0 for them.
Set i_size to the length of the link target, as other filesystems do.
Replacing the leading spaces with "../" afterwards does not change the
length of the target, so it is safe to take it right away.
Fixes: 050ea5bb93 ("fs: add qemu_fw_cfg file system")
