+Subject: [PATCH 114/114] xattr: allow setting user.* attributes on symlinks by
+ owner
+
+Kvmtool and clear containers supports using user attributes to label host
+files with the virtual uid/guid of the file in the container. This allows an
+end user to manage their files and a complete uid space without all the ugly
+namespace stuff.
+
+The one gap in the support is symlinks because an end user can change the
+ownership of a symbolic link. We support attributes on these files as you
+can already (as root) set security attributes on them.
+
+The current rules seem slightly over-paranoid and as we have a use case this
+patch enables updating the attributes on a symbolic link IFF you are the
+owner of the synlink (as permissions are not usually meaningful on the link
+itself).
