+ * To create a symbolic link, most file systems instantiate a new inode,
+ * add a page to it containing the path, then write it out to the disk
+ * using prepare_write/commit_write.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately the NFS client can't create the in-core inode first
+ * because it needs a file handle to create an in-core inode (see
+ * fs/nfs/inode.c:nfs_fhget). We only have a file handle *after* the
+ * symlink request has completed on the server.
+ *
+ * So instead we allocate a raw page, copy the symname into it, then do
+ * the SYMLINK request with the page as the buffer. If it succeeds, we
+ * now have a new file handle and can instantiate an in-core NFS inode
+ * and move the raw page into its mapping.
