This patch addresses three issues related to symlinks. 1) Revert the zfs_follow_link() function to a modified version of the original zfs_readlink(). The only changes from the original OpenSolaris version relate to using Linux types. For the moment this means no vnode's and no zfsvfs_t. The caller zpl_follow_link() was also updated accordingly. This change was reverted because it was slightly gratuitious. 2) Update zpl_follow_link() to use local variables for the link buffer. I'd forgotten that iov.iov_base is updated by uiomove() so after the call to zfs_readlink() it can not longer be used. We need our own private copy of the link pointer. 3) Allocate MAXPATHLEN instead of MAXPATHLEN+1. By default MAXPATHLEN is 4096 bytes which is a full page, adding one to it pushes it slightly over a page. That means you'll likely end up allocating 2 pages which is wasteful of memory and possibly slightly slower. |

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
