From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx> Hi Ian - We recently encountered an issue where a client would all of a sudden start returning ELOOP for anything involving crossing an autofs mount. We tracked it down to two bugs, one which obscured the other. The first is that we were not properly updating the map age for yp maps when we retry the lookup with dots instead of underscores. The second is that it is possible under several situations to return success when there was a failure in lookup_nss_mount. In this particular case, it was the only map in the list and since the age wasn't update, it was skipped. Then we exit the while loop with ret == 0, ultimately returning success to the caller. Autofs would tell the kernel it succeeded, the kernel would retry the lookup, and we'd loop until we hit the kernel loop limit (40). These two patches fix each of the issues.
