The ELOOP error in Linux indicates that too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving a path name. Mapping it to nfserr_symlink may be fine.

Adding ELOOP -> SYMLINK as a generic mapping could be a problem. RFC 8881 Section 15.2 does not list NFS4ERR_SYMLINK as a permissible status code for NFSv4 READDIR. Further, Section 15.4 lists only the following operations for NFS4ERR_SYMLINK: COMMIT, LAYOUTCOMMIT, LINK, LOCK, LOCKT, LOOKUP, LOOKUPP, OPEN, READ, WRITE Which of lookup_positive_unlocked() or nfsd_cross_mnt() returned ELOOP, and why? What were the export options? What was in the file system that caused this? Can this scenario be reproduced on v6.13? -- Chuck Lever
