The nfsd4 code has a bunch of special exceptions for error returns which map nfserr_symlink to other errors. In fact, the spec makes it clear that nfserr_symlink is to be preferred over less specific errors where possible. The patch that introduced it back in 2.6.4 is "kNFSd: correct symlink related error returns.", which claims that these special exceptions are represent an NFSv4 break from v2/v3 tradition--when in fact the symlink error was introduced with v4. I suspect what happened was pynfs tests were written that were overly faithful to the (known-incomplete) rfc3530 error return lists, and then code was fixed up mindlessly to make the tests pass. Delete these unnecessary exceptions. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
