18 * kernfs_create_link - create a symlink
19 * @parent: directory to create the symlink in
20 * @name: name of the symlink
21 * @target: target node for the symlink to point to
23 * Returns the created node on success, ERR_PTR() value on error.
24 * Ownership of the link matches ownership of the target.
