Huh?  Could somebody explain why traversals of NFS4 referrals should inherit
->acc_mode and ->opath_mask?

That's not quite guaranteed (it is possible to bind a symlink on top
of a regular file, and you will get LOOKUP_JUMPED on the entry into
trailing_symlink() when looking the result up).  Moreover, why bother
with LOOKUP_JUMPED here?  See that
	nd->last_type = LAST_BIND;
several lines prior?  That's precisely to be able to recognize those
suckers.

And _that_ would've avoided another piece of ugliness - your LOOKUP_JUMPED
kludge forces you to handle that cra^Wsclero^Wvaluable security hardening
in get_link(), instead of trailing_symlink() where you apparently want
it to be.  Simply because nd_jump_root() done later in get_link() will set
LOOKUP_JUMPED for absolute symlinks, confusing your test.

Moreover, I'm not sure that trailing_symlink() is the right place for
that either - I would be rather tempted to fold do_o_path() into
path_openat(), inline path_lookupat() there (as in
        s = path_init(nd, flags);

        while (!(error = link_path_walk(s, nd))
                && ((error = lookup_last(nd)) > 0)) {
                s = trailing_symlink(nd);
        }
        if (!error)
                error = complete_walk(nd);
        if (!error && nd->flags & LOOKUP_DIRECTORY)
                if (!d_can_lookup(nd->path.dentry))
                        error = -ENOTDIR;
        if (!error) {
                audit_inode(nd->name, nd->path.dentry, 0);
                error = vfs_open(&nd->path, file);
        }
        terminate_walk(nd);
- we don't need LOOKUP_DOWN there) and then we only care about the
two callers of trailing_symlink() that are in path_openat().  Which
is where you have your ->acc_mode and ->opath_mask without the need
to dump them into nameidata.  Or to bring that mess into the
things like stat(2) et.al. - it simply doesn't belong there.

In any case, this "bool trailing" is completely wrong; whether that
check belongs in trailing_symlink() or (some of) its callers, putting
it into get_link() is a mistake, forced by kludgy check for procfs-style
symlinks.
