From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Array of MAX_NESTED_LINKS + 1 elements put into nameidata; what used to be a local array in link_path_walk() occupies entries 1 .. MAX_NESTED_LINKS in it, link and cookie from the trailing symlink handling loops - entry 0. This is _not_ the final arrangement; just an easily verified incremental step.
