[PATCH 1/3] autofs4 - fix device ioctl mount lookup

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

 



When reconnecting to automounts at startup an autofs ioctl is used
to find the device and inode of existing mounts so they can be used
to open a file descriptor of possibly covered mounts.

At this time the the caller might not yet "own" the mount so it can
trigger calling ->d_automount(). This causes automount to hang when
trying to reconnect to direct or offset mount types.

Consequently kern_path() can't be used.
