All I could find was 

 https://lore.kernel.org/all/1648103566-15528-1-git-send-email-baihaowen@xxxxxxxxx/

which essentially followed the same path as this conversation.  The
patch was resubmitted using UNIX_PATH_MAX but never responded to by the
relevant maintainers.

There are no protocol implications.  This string is only used for
informational messages.
