+Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Linux 4.2: total_link_count is no longer accessible
+
+The value is now stored in the nameidata structure which
+is private to fs/namei.c, so we can't modify it here.
+
+The effect is that using a path that contains 40+ directories
+may fail with ELOOP, depending on which directories in the
+path were previously used. After a directory is accessed once
+its D_AUTOMOUNT flag is reset and it will no longer count
+against the symlink limit in later path lookups.
