But symlink targets can't be bigger than PATH_MAX which has always been 4KiB right? (Does Linux support systems with sub-4KiB pages?)

I guess let me ask it a different way: Since we're removing a sanity check here I just want to be sure that the constraints are still handled.

Hmm, skimming through the vfs code from vfs_readlink() I'm not seeing anything constraining the userspace buffer length which seems surprising.

Ah interesting, XFS has 
#define XFS_SYMLINK_MAXLEN	1024
and always constrains even its kmalloc invocation to that.
