The downstream 'path_max' patch in Debian sets the buffer size
for readlink() to the 'st_size' value obtained with lstat().
However, it might be zero for some symlinks in /proc on Linux
(notably /proc/self) leading to readlink() failing with EINVAL.
$ strace -e lstat stat /proc/self 2>&1 \
| grep -e lstat -e File: -e Size:
lstat("/proc/self", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
File: /proc/self -> 30875
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1024 symbolic link
This causes readlink (tool) to files like /dev/stdin to fail,
which may link to /proc/self/fd/0 on containers or elsewhere.
Test-case:
ubuntu@cosmic:~/node$
$ strace -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ -f -e lstat,readlink \
node test/parallel/test-fs-realpath-pipe.js
