From c99658fe970f442199733bcace1a00b087336a0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:27:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bail out with ELOOP earlier in do_link loop If we'd passed through 32 trailing symlinks already, there's no sense following the 33rd - we'll bail out anyway. Better bugger off earlier. It *does* change behaviour, after a fashion - if the 33rd happens to be a procfs-style symlink, original code *would* allow it. This one will not. Cry me a river if that hurts you. Please, do. And post a video of that, while you are at it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-format-patch failed
