that it is consistent with path name length description above.

 kernel spend too much time on just one path is one of them.  With
 symbolic links you can effectively generate much longer paths so some
 sort of limit is needed for the same reason.  Linux imposes a limit of
-at most 40 symlinks in any one path lookup.  It previously imposed a
-further limit of eight on the maximum depth of recursion, but that was

 raised to 40 when a separate stack was implemented, so there is now
 just the one limit.
