From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

If a symbolic link target looks bad, try to sift through the rubble to
find as much of the target buffer that we can, and stage a new target
(short or remote format as needed) in a temporary file and use the
atomic extent swapping mechanism to commit the results.

The xfs_symlink_write_target/__xfs_symlink_write_target split seems
a bit pointless with just a single real caller for either variant.
Why not just pass the owner to xfs_symlink_write_target and do away
with __xfs_symlink_write_target?

Are we actually doing that?  xrep_setup_symlink sets up a link with
the "." target (and could use a comment on why), but we're always
writing the long dummy target below now, or am I missing something?

I don't think that's what it does :)

No rtsummary here either..

Haha.  Can this cause the repair to run into ENOSPC if the previous
corrupted symlink was way shorter?

If the target that we salvage has the same strlen as i_size, then we'll
rewrite what we found into the symlink.  In all other cases, yes, we
write out the DUMMY_TARGET string.

IOWs, the comment is out of date.  Here's what I have now:

/*

Oops.  Fixed both of those things.  :(

Yes.  In that case, xrep_symlink_rebuild will fail to write DUMMY_TARGET
into sc->tempip, we ifree the tempfile (with its '.' target), and return
the error to userspace.

Oops, I forgot to respond to this -- yeah, I'll get rid of this trivial
helper.
