There is a problem with the patch I posted.
It will allow an incorrect ENOENT return in some cases.
The patch below is sufficiently different to the original patch I posted
to warrant a replacement rather than a correction.
If you can find a way to test this out that would be great.
autofs4 - don't make expiring dentry negative
From: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>
Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
instantiated.
This involves removing the code in autofs4_lookup_unhashed() that makes
the dentry negative and updating autofs4_lookup() to check for an
unfinished expire and wait if needed. The dentry used for the lookup
must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases so the
dentry can't be re-used (which is probably for the better anyway).
