We can't use PATH_MAX for SMB symlinks because
(1) Windows Server will fail FSCTL_SET_REPARSE_POINT with
STATUS_IO_REPARSE_DATA_INVALID when input buffer is larger than
16K, as specified in MS-FSA 2.1.5.10.37.
(2) The client won't be able to parse large SMB responses that
includes SMB symlink path within SMB2_CREATE or SMB2_IOCTL
responses.
Fix this by defining a maximum length value (4060) for SMB symlinks
that both client and server can handle.

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 reStructuredText 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.
