I've given up on the idea of zero-copy handling of SYMLINK on the server side. This is because the Linux VFS symlink API requires the symlink pathname to be in a NUL-terminated kmalloc'd buffer. The NUL-termination is going to be problematic (watching out for landing on a page boundary and dealing with a 4096-byte pathname). I don't believe that SYMLINK creation is on a performance path or is requested frequently enough that it will cause noticeable CPU cache pollution due to data copies. There will be two places where a transport callout will be necessary to fill in the rqstp: one will be in the svc_fill_symlink_pathname() helper that is used by NFSv2 and NFSv3, and the other will be in nfsd4_decode_create().

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.
