locked down the path checks in check_reduced_name[_with_privilege]() to prevent unintended access via wide links.

The new checks do not correctly treat a corner case though: the case of the share path being "/". (Important e.g. for using the glusterfs VFS module.)

In this case all operations after tree connect get ACCESS_DENIED.
