The maximum number of followed symlinks seems to be set to 5.
This seems small when compared to other filesystem limits. Is there some objection to it being raised? Should it be something like Glib's '20' or '255'? 20 or 255 - not feasible (we'll get stack overflow from hell). 8 - probably can be switched already; anybody who hadn't converted their fs ->follow_link() to new model will just lose; in-tree instances are already OK with that and out-of-tree folks had at least half a year of warning. Unless anybody yells right now, I'm switching it to 8 in post-2.6.16. | ||||||||||
