[Bug 257187] NFSv3 server creates symlinks that local clients can't read [ZFS]

            Bug ID: 257187
           Summary: NFSv3 server creates symlinks that local clients can't
                    read [ZFS]
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wollman@FreeBSD.org

Our backup vendor alerted us to this issue.  Most of our NFS clients are Ubuntu
systems, and use NFSv3.  Somehow, one of our users managed to create a bunch of
symbolic links for which lstat(2) succeeds, but readlink(2) fails with
[ENOENT].  The links work just fine on the Linux clients over NFS.

Example ktrace on the server side:

  7597 readlink CALL 
fstatat(AT_FDCWD,0x7fffffffed99,0x7fffffffe9d0,0x200<AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW>)

  7597 readlink RET   readlink -1 errno 2 No such file or directory

Results of Linux stat(1) utility on the client side:

This seems like a bug in either the ZPL or the NFS server.  I can't even see
how local lstat() and NFSPROC_READLINK could succeed and local readlink() still
fail.
