Subject: MAX_NESTED_LINKS
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 21:40:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1093920028.2445.2.camel@smfhome.smfdom> (raw)
MAX_NESTED_LINKS seems to have been set to 5, but the comment in
fs/namei.c indicates a larger number. Is that intentional?
* This limits recursive symlink follows to 8, while
* limiting consecutive symlinks to 40.
