/* POSIX specifies SYMLOOP_MAX as the "Maximum number of symbolic
|
|
links that can be reliably traversed in the resolution of a
|
|
pathname in the absence of a loop." This makes it a minimum that
|
|
we should certainly accept. But it leaves open the possibility
|
|
that more might sometimes work--just not "reliably".
|
|
|
|
For example, Linux implements a complex policy whereby there is a
|
|
small limit on the number of direct symlink traversals (a symlink
|
|
to a symlink to a symlink), but larger limit on the total number of
|
|
symlink traversals overall. Hence the SYMLOOP_MAX number should be
|
|
the small one, but the limit library functions enforce on users
|
|
should be the larger one.
|
|
|
|
So, we use the larger of the reported SYMLOOP_MAX (if any) and our
|
|
own constant MIN_ELOOP_THRESHOLD, below. This constant should be
|
|
large enough that it never rules out a file name and directory tree
|
|
that the underlying system (i.e. calls to 'open' et al) would
|
|
resolve successfully. It should be small enough that actual loops
|
|
are detected without a huge number of iterations. */
