Don't enforce NAME_MAX in fs.Dirent.walk().
Maximum filename length is filesystem-dependent, and obtained via statfs::f_namelen. This limit is usually 255 bytes (NAME_MAX), but not always. For example, VFAT supports filenames of up to 255... UCS-2 characters, which Linux conservatively takes to mean UTF-8-encoded bytes: fs/fat/inode.c:fat_statfs(), FAT_LFN_LEN * NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE. As a result, Linux's VFS does not enforce NAME_MAX: $ rg --maxdepth=1 '\WNAME_MAX\W' fs/ include/linux/ fs/libfs.c 38: buf->f_namelen = NAME_MAX; 64: if (dentry->d_name.len > NAME_MAX) include/linux/relay.h 74: char base_filename[NAME_MAX]; /* saved base filename */ include/linux/fscrypt.h 149: * filenames up to NAME_MAX bytes, since base64 encoding expands the length. include/linux/exportfs.h 176: * understanding that it is already pointing to a a %NAME_MAX+1 sized Remove this check from core VFS, and add it to ramfs (and by extension tmpfs), where it is actually applicable: mm/shmem.c:shmem_dir_inode_operations.lookup == simple_lookup *does* enforce NAME_MAX.
