The ext2 filesystem on disk format has two ways to store symlinks.
For symlinks >= 60 bytes in length, they are stored as files
(so-called "slow symlinks"). For shorter symlinks the symlink is
stored in the inode ("fast symlinks").
Previously we only created slow symlinks even if they are shorter than
60 bytes. This didn't matter until recently, when a change went into
the upstream kernel which assumes that symlinks shorter than 60 bytes
are always stored in the inode, thus breaking the filesystems that we
created before:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470157#c4
This changes the code to use the ext2fs_symlink function instead which
creates fast and slow symlinks properly. It also removes use of
PATH_MAX so this should work with symbolic link targets of any length.
This fix is required if you use supermin with any Linux kernel >= 4.13.
