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 <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
