Last time I checked (few days ago) it wasn't yet committed.

Right now a sylmink should consume one dnode (320 bytes) if the name
it point to is less than 67 bytes, otherwise a data block is allocated
additionally to dnode (and more IOs will be needed to read it).
And of course an entry in a directory is needed as for normal file.
