commit 9ed50b8231e37b1ae863f5dec8153b98d9f389b4 upstream.
Fast symlink can be used if the on-disk symlink data is stored
in the same block as the on-disk inode, so we don’t need to trigger
another I/O for symlink data. However, currently fs correction could be
reported _incorrectly_ if inode xattrs are too large.
In fact, these should be valid images although they cannot be handled as
fast symlinks.
Many thanks to Colin for reporting this!

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
