[PATCH] autofs4 - use lookup access intent to support recursive bind mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Andrew,

For autofs maps that recursively reference other map entries in their
mount point path we need to ensure that these mounts are performed
prior to the current mount request being done. We've used the access
system call, made just prior to performing the mount, to make this
happen. In the case of bind mounts, however, the lookup flags in 
the path walk don't trigger a mount. To do this we need to also
trigger a mount when we see the LOOKUP_ACCESS flag.
