Subject: [resend RFC 5/6] sysfs: add sysfs_add_group_link()
The current __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() code allows us to
create symbolic links in sysfs to groups or attributes. Something like:
/sys/.../entry1/groupA -> /sys/.../entry2/groupA
This patch extends this functionality with a new sysfs_add_group_link()
call that allows the link to have a different name than the group or
attribute, so:
/sys/.../entry1/link_name -> /sys/.../entry2/groupA
__compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() now just calls
sysfs_add_group_link(), passing in the same name for both the
group/attribute and for the link name.
This is needed by the ACPI HMAT enabling work because we want to have a
group of performance attributes that live in a memory target. This group
represents the performance between the (initiator,target) pair, and in the
target the attribute group is named "via_mem_initX" to represent this
pairing:
# tree mem_tgt2/via_mem_init0/
mem_tgt2/via_mem_init0/
├── mem_init0 -> ../../mem_init0
├── mem_tgt2 -> ../../mem_tgt2
├── read_bw_MBps
├── read_lat_nsec
├── write_bw_MBps
└── write_lat_nsec
We then want to link to this attribute group from the initiator, but change
the name to "via_mem_tgtX" since we're now looking at it from the
initiator's perspective:
# ls -l mem_init0/via_mem_tgt2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun 1 10:00 mem_init0/via_mem_tgt2 ->
../mem_tgt2/via_mem_init0
