When creating inode for symlink, the client used to send below
requests to fill it in:
* create+query_info+close (STATUS_STOPPED_ON_SYMLINK)
* create(+reparse_flag)+query_info+close (set file attrs)
* create+ioctl(get_reparse)+close (query reparse tag)
and then for every access to the symlink dentry, the ->link() method
would send another:
* create+ioctl(get_reparse)+close (parse symlink)
So, in order to improve:
(i) Get rid of unnecessary roundtrips and then resolve symlinks as
follows:
* create+query_info+close (STATUS_STOPPED_ON_SYMLINK +
parse symlink + get reparse tag)
* create(+reparse_flag)+query_info+close (set file attrs)
(ii) Set the resolved symlink target directly in inode->i_link and
use simple_get_link() for ->link() to simply return it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
