If this holds up without regressions than all LTSes. That's what Amir and Leah did for some other work. I can add that to the comment for clarity.
Unfortunately, this has not held up in LTSes without causing regressions, specifically in crun:
Crun issue and patch
So thre's a fix already for this, they agree that symlinks shouldn't have modes, so what's the issue?
Debian bug report
Same report.
I think it should be reverted in LTSes and possibly in upstream.
It needs to reverted in Linus's tree first, otherwise you will hit the same problem when moving to a new kernel.
P.S. apologies for not having the correct threading headers. I am not on the list.
You can always grab the mail on lore.kernel.org and respond to it there, you are trying to dig up a months old email and we don't really have any context at all (I had to go to lore to figure it out...)
thanks,
