[PATCH 4/5] autofs4 - check kernel communication pipe is valid for write

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

 



It is possible for an autofs mount to become catatonic (and for the
daemon communication pipe to become NULL) after a wait has been
initiallized but before the request has been sent to the daemon. We
need to check for this before sending the request packet.
