In which case you want them to be associated with target, not the current pathname of target. And no, I don't buy the "so far all renames happen *here* and all symlinks are pointing *there*, so we don't care" - that won't last.
When do we have a legitimate reason for dangling symlinks in sysfs, anyway? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
