Subject: [PATCH v4 2/6] sysfs: wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj function to change the symlink name
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 17:54:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191206122434.29587-3-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191206122434.29587-1-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com>
The __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj function creates a symlink to a
kobject but doesn't provide an option to change the symlink file name.
This patch adds a wrapper function create_sysfs_symlink_entry_to_kobj that
extends the __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj functionality which
allows function caller to customize the symlink name.
