From b6ddc4e6fed9c6f4adb273c8b36e1731f90ec17e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:19:27 +1000 Subject: [XFS] Don't validate symlink target component length This target component validation is not POSIX conformant and it is not done by any other Linux filesystem so remove it from XFS.
