Hi Ian, Have you had a chance to run your tests in these patches yet? I've done what testing I can think of and cannot fault them. This set is against 3.17-rc1 and make use of the new -EISDIR handling for d_manage() and assumes the other patches which already went in through Andrew Morton. I've added a section to autofs4.txt about mount namespaces, but it is otherwise unchanged. If I could get an {Acked,Reviewed,Tested}-By in the next few weeks so I can send them on to Andrew I would really appreciate it. Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (5): autofs4: allow RCU-walk to walk through autofs4. autofs4: factor should_expire() out of autofs4_expire_indirect. autofs4: avoid taking fs_lock during rcu-walk autofs4: d_manage() should return -EISDIR when appropriate in rcu-walk mode. autofs: the documentation I wanted to read Documentation/filesystems/autofs4.txt | 520 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/autofs4/autofs_i.h | 6 fs/autofs4/dev-ioctl.c | 2 fs/autofs4/expire.c | 200 ++++++++----- fs/autofs4/root.c | 62 +++- 5 files changed, 694 insertions(+), 96 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/filesystems/autofs4.txt -- Signature -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
