Subject: [PATCH 3/9] fs: ramfs: create symlinks with mode 0777
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 09:09:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020-fs-symlink-fixes-v1-3-e7ac8c29b08a@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020-fs-symlink-fixes-v1-0-e7ac8c29b08a@pengutronix.de>
ramfs creates symlinks with S_IRWXG only, so they show up as
'l---rwx---' in 'ls -l'. Permissions of symlinks are meaningless, Linux
always creates them with 0777. Do the same here.
Fixes: b283b72639 ("fs: ramfs: Switch to dentry cache implementation")
