Subject: ovl: allow setting max size of redirect
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ea22a71b65b6743a53e286ff4991a06b9d2597c;p=linux-beck.git

ovl: allow setting max size of redirect

Add a module option to allow tuning the max size of absolute redirects.
Default is 256.

Size of relative redirects is naturally limited by the the underlying
filesystem's max filename length (usually 255).
