Hi Josh, did you actually test if this patch works with a symlink longer than a
single block?
The existing slow symlink code is only written to handle a single block, so
just removing the check doesn't fix that. There would also need to be a new
INCOMPATIBLE feature flag added, so that the kernel and e2fsck know that there
are symlink a longer than a single block. Otherwise they would consider the
link corrupted.
