Next: [PATCH 1/3] sysfs: Don't allow the creation of symlinks we can't remove
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman on 26 Jul 2010 15:20
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm(a)xmission.com>

Supporting symlinks from untagged to tagged directories is reasonable,
and needed to support CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. So don't fail a prior
allowing that case to work.
